What would you consider "suicidal thoughts"?

Are all suicidal thoughts to be wary of? When I hear stories of people who overcome them, they seem to be planned, or feel like that is the only option.

I have frequent thoughts about suicide, but rarely has it ever seemed to be a real option in the moment, and I have never thought of cutting or self harm, just shooting myself.

I don't know if this is that bad, because the thoughts themselves only bother me when I'm alone, usually at night.

I think it is important to say that my life is overall good, I have everything I need, and some friends, I just don't like my head-space or know if it is something to look more deeply at and consider treatment or something.

I'm a male. (not trans)

    It *is* something to consider treatment for.

    Although I do understand you, I started having those thoughts at about your age. I just hoped I could get a lobotomy more than anything to change how my mind was working. I never actually wanted or tried to kill myself or self-harm (granted I kind of did it, with drugs and alcohol). I just wanted to die. It gets better but you might need help with it.
