Sometimes, I wish that I could die. It just seems so convenient--I wouldn't have to deal with a bunch of crap all the time. It isn't something I would ACTUALLY do, but it scares me a little that I think this way. Normal?
Exact same problem here. And its all because of school. It ruins my life.
Totally normal to have dark moments. I think that way too sometimes. EVERYONE does if they are being honest. I think it's part of being human. I doubt squirrels ever think about running head on to a Buick (at least pick a Cadillac, dude!), but people know enough to make us dangerous to ourselves and others. When I start thinking negative I watch stupid funny movies or videos on YouTube, play some fun music, or go get a shake at McDonalds. It's the small things sometimes that help.
I think about it allot and a few times I've "tried" to do it, but I always chicken out or something comes up... I suppose it's normal to feel this way, but don't act on it.
i get that all the time i have no particular reason but sometimes its like what the heck.
i think about suicide every single day
and every die i lie in bed and think of reasons not to do it
but you know what?each day i think of one less reason
Completely normal. However, if you start to develop plans or fantasies about suicide, then it's time to see a therapist. Furthermore, if your feeling of hopelessness/helplessness are interfering with your life (such as making you avoid things that you usually enjoy like spending time with friends or family) whether you have a plan or not, you should get help. Passive suicidal ideation (passive means "no plan") is criteria for admission to some inpatient crisis centers so it is considered somewhat serious. Active suicidal ideation (active means "you have a plan") is criteria for admission to most general hospital psychiatric wards so it's obviously considered more serious.
Any really hard time I've been through, I've had the same thought. Of course u would never actually kill myself because I don't want to die I just want what I am going through ti go away.
Dont do it man. Yes, life does get rough on you sometimes, but it also gets good. Enjoy it while you have it.
They say if you think of killing yourself to often and act on it you are bipolar. Or should I
say your were bipolar if you manage to do it. Feeling OK about yourself is the antidote. I realised that when you rely on external factors like family, friends, money, work, relationships, community, sex for your fulfillment in life. When they very suddenly go you can be left empty and wanting to die. I'm working on the antidote the thought of my kids being left alone stopped me thinking seriously about killing myself. Life pressure and loneliness makes me think whats the point.
Totally normal. I get those thoughts quite frequently, though I would never act upon them. People tell me it's not normal, but I'm sure pretty much everyone has thought about dying at least once in their lifetime!
If you constantly think about it then no, if you think about it whenever you have hardship then no, if it occasionally pops into your head then yes, you're normal.
ya, don't do it. i think we all feel that way sometimes. life is hard, well, sometimes it's harder than other times. hang in there. you are not alone.
Yeah, but when dead, you wouldn't have to deal with anything. There'd be no relief. It's far from convenient for others too. Lots of people have suicide pop into their thoughts from time to time, so it's normal. It's different from the actually doing it part, which isn't so good.
