Is it normal to want to die when things are good?

Just typing out that title makes me feel absolutely crazy but I feel like this too often not to ask. I'm probably alone in this but I just wanted to check. I'm like the happiest person in the world and I love my life and I'm not suicidal by any means. But sometimes when things are really good I think it would be a good time to die. I remember a few years ago I went to a party and I had a really awesome time and I was the center of attention and just had a great night with my friends. On my way home I almost hit a deer and I had thought that it would have been a good night to die if I had actually hit it. Like their last memory of me would be a really good one. It's not like I think about it everyday, just occasionally. Or when things are going really well at work or with my boyfriend I sometimes feel that way again. Like if I were to die then I would truly be missed. Again, I do NOT want to die. I really love my life and I have so much more I want to do with it. But sometimes I just think that if I had to go, I would prefer it be at certain times rather than others. Has anyone else ever thought like this? Is there something wrong with me for having these thoughts?

    There was this guy who said he wanted to die after I pulled out all four of his wisdom teeth with no injection. It was so funny.

    you think happiness is so far away that even when you feel it you don't believe it so you want it to end. routes back to social anxiety i bet. but either way this thinking will pass and youl forget it like it never came
