Wanting to hurt myself/suicide

Everyday when I walk home from the bus stop, I have to cross the road to get to my house.
Each and every day, I tell myself I want to stand in the exact center of the street (the yellow lines)
And I do.

Some days I tell myself that I want to jump in front of a car..
But I never have the guts to.

I really want to hurt myself for some reason...
normal? not normal?

    Hey, I know how you feel :( I always have the urge to do that and I never have the guts to. Every time I think about suicide, I have a little inner argument and talk myself out of it. I tell myself about the hurt it would cause others; the things that I still love (music.) It's like there are two sides of me in conflict.
    Please be careful, because something could happen and if it does, there's not turning back.

    Oh, and don't hurt yourself. It's a strong feeling, but once you start, it's hard to stop because you don't see why you should. If you ever need dissuading, just take a look at the scars people have from long term self-harm addiction. I'm trying again. I decided to get myself the hell outta this rut. Music helped me - specifically Elliott Smith. I was reading a book on him and I just thought "this guy was so bloody talented and amazing. Look at what he achieved. You have to at least try!"

    I put that its not normal, because it isn't if you are happy and not experiencing issues, however if your life is truly biting the big one at the moment, and totally overwhelming you then yes it is VERY normal to feel that way and you need to get help before you give in to those feelings. It's a warning that you need help so please listen to it and talk to someone in rl.

    I think that many people who are afraid of heights have that same feeling, almost as if they are curious of what it would feel like, but maybe that's different.

    Is it sexual? If it is, stay away from that kind of thing, it really makes life more complicated. If not, then perhaps you are depressed. As far as I can tell, it seems to be the latter.

    This is normal.
    sometimes i feel the exact same way.
    you need to look for something that can make you happy, and stick with it. i'm not the best advice giver but i know how you feel.

    why the thoughts there must be something that happened through out your life and you need to resolve it.

    You some help for real, because one day a drunk driver could come by and well..you know the rest

  • Ok it is not normal. You should get some help. Because otherwise you are gonna do it and have you ever thought about the driver?? He is innocent and has to live with the thought that he killed a person. So don't be a dickhead and start thinking about whats so nice about life and what are the reasons that you haven't done it yet.
