Death is a natural part of life, and it’s normal to think about it from time to time. But it’s very common for people experiencing mental illness to think about death more than usual. Thinking about death all the time might feel uncomfortable or scary. You might be wondering why you’re thinking about it so much, wondering if this is normal, or wondering if it will stop. It becomes especially a concern if thinking about dying leads to thoughts about killing yourself. If you’re experiencing intrusive thoughts about suicide or thinking that killing yourself is an option, we really hope you reach out to people around you to find safety and make changes that can help. If you haven’t had treatment for depression or anxiety and you haven’t told someone how you feel, these are steps to take that can make things better. If you’re not sure who to talk to or how to talk to someone, you can call the National Suicide Prevention Hotline
For some people it can be normal, but I mean normal in the sense that it is part of their life. You aren't strange or broken for thinking that way, but I understand that it is something that can be quite debilitating. I would recommend that you reached out and spoke to a professional about what you're going through and hopefully you can find strategies in order to cope with these thoughts. There are ways you can get through this and learn how to deal with these thoughts. I hope that anyone going through this is doing okay and will get the help they need.

Thinking about suicide everyday may be a sign that you are suicidal. It would be best if you would reach out to a suicide hotline. Please do not feel like you are unworthy or useless because there is a space in this universe that you occupy and that space is a very beautiful space with animals and buildings and mountains and rivers and filled with your imagination. You are worthy and you are loved. You are strong. You have always got up and stood against all odds.
I hope you will be able to share what you are going through with someone, even if its on 7 cups. Stay strong

No i think its not. Life is all about journey. Sometimes this could be so boring n frustrating. Sometimes its just tiring himself. But its life. Its a gift of God, n nature. So have to face every problem. Sometime situation will never be able to at our hand. N its kill everyday us and can hamper our daily life. But we have to understand the situation n find out the path to get rid sll of this. If someone feel suicuide everyday, he or she must be need held others. Talk to people,n should go to a psychiatrist. Thats it
Actually, no. This is a huge sign of depression, and you need to talk to someone about it. If you are a student, talk to your guidance counselor about this. If you are already working, talk to a therapist or your doctor. Ask for reccommendations as to whom you can ask for help. Thinking about suicide everyday is already a sign as I said earlier of depression. Talk to someone, don't be afraid or shy to ask for help, this is not something you should be dealing on your own. Talk to a friend or a parent or even anyone you are comfortable with.

Thoughts about suicide is a grey area. It's not healthy to think of it as either being normal or unnatural. When it comes down to it though, thoughts of suicide are very common. People don't necessarily have to have a mental health disorder to have thoughts about taking their life. It can often be a generic thought or an indicator of high stress levels. It's less common to think about ending ones life everyday with any other thoughts attached to it. If it gets to a point that it becomes concerning however, go to see a doctor. They can always start you off on the right course of action. If a feeling is ever intense, A&E is always a safe place to go!
No, it is not normal to think about suicide every day. If you are having serious suicidal ideations I would strongly recommend that you call a hotline or reach out to a trained professional who can help you through this difficult time in your life. Seeing a counsellor or therapist can be beneficial, as can sharing your thoughts and feeling with a trusted friend or guardian who has the emotional and mental capacity for it. I believe that you have it in you to keep on going. Live for the small moments and take life one day at a time. It will get better eventually, i promise.
If you have had suicidal ideations multiple times, it can be normal but most times it isnt normal. We are all here for you so don't be afraid to ask for help. Just because it may not be normal, never feel bad about feeling that way!! Suicide can be very hard to deal with and there are many people here to support you as well as helplines, professionals, therapists and police and EMT authorities. Send me a message if you ever need help. We are here to help but if you are contemplating about suicide, please call a helpline or 911.
No, it's not normal. Please seek help or text the crisis line they are there for suicidal idealization and can help. 24/7. Counseling is needed if thoughts are ongoing and you cannot shake them. There are many reasons for suicide but you can be helped. Crisis line 741741 and a counselor can help you learn coping skills and come up with a plan to help you avoid those thoughts. Depression can cause suicidal idealization, sadness, loss of relationships and many other mental health issues. It is ok to reach out for help that is why we have counselors to help.
If you think about ending your life everyday, that is not normal and you might need help from a professional. If you ever find yourself planning or about to engage in a suicidal act, please take a moment first to call the National Suicide Prevention Hotline at 1-800-273-8255. They are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and you will remain anonymous. If, on the other hand, you think about suicide as an interesting phenomenon and not as something you want to do, then I think it’s as normal as any other thought. People get fascinated by any number of subjects, and the subject of suicide is a complex and difficult problem to grapple with. If you’re the kind of person who likes to be challenged by difficult questions, then don’t worry if you grapple with the reality that people die from suicide. Either way, please monitor your own relationship with the thought of suicide, and reach out for help if you feel life is becoming too much for you to handle.
No, it is not normal or healthy. Please remember that if you are thinking about suicide every day that your mind is ill and that it is not your fault that you are feeling this way. With help and compassion, your mind can and will recover. I'm so sorry you are feeling this way. I know the stress of everyday life can be unbearable at times. Please trust me when I say that in time it will get better. Please look up suicide resources on this website and in your area. You are worthy and deserving of getting help, and feeling better.
Nope, that is not normal. But you know that, otherwise you wouldn't have asked. Humans are inclined to life in almost all the details of their existence. In the way mothers will protect their offspring and in the way it is physically inmpossible to strangle yourself. That will to live inside of you was also the part that asked this question. You probably have a life right now that you really do not want. Maybe it is your circumstances, your health, your family or maybe just who you are that make you not want to keep exisitng. you want to stop doing this man-made ratrace of living. I am here to tell you that I understand that. I really do. Life can be so hard and so ugly. But it is also beautiful and lovely sometimes. There are people who will help you to find a life that you want to keep living. There are ways to get to an existence that you actually enjoy most of the time. You will get there. you are strong and the life in you is strong. Where I'm from we have a saying: where there is life there is hope. There is hope in you too my friend. Keep if alive and you will bloom.

No its not. If you think you are in crisis, I would recommend you to check this link www.7cups.com/crisis or get a professional help if possible. Also remember you are not alone we are in this together and this time shall pass too. I hope everything gets better soon for you. Dark tunnels will surely end one day paving the way for brightness, dark clouds don't remain forever my friend. Believe in yourself and I know you will do great.
It’s hard to judge things in terms of normal or not normal. It might be your reality right now and that does not make you “crazyâ€. All things considered it might not be unreasonable to think the way you do. However this way of thinking is not healthy and can become very dangerous. Keep in mind that depression or the momentary weight of the situation you’re going through might change your perception of the world around you and make it harder for you to think in different patterns and see positive aspects in your life. However that doesn’t mean that they are nonexistent. What you’re experiencing is very real and to be taken seriously but it is not all there is in life. I would advise you to seek help, through a suicide hotline or a counselling centre to help you take the first steps towards recovery. Try to put some trust in the fact that there will be other things in life than what you are experiencing in life right now, even if that’s a difficult thing to do. I wish you all the very best.

It's a very natural thing to think about suicide, but often people dismiss the thought just as quickly as it comes.
When suicidal thoughts happen more frequently, this is when things can become problematic. Especially if you're thinking about suicide daily, and it's starting to impact aspects of your life.
One of the things that can help is sharing these thoughts with someone, whether that be a listener or a therapist. Being able to share them can help lessen the intensity and reduce the thoughts completely.
I hope that this is helpful to you. Don't be afraid to reach out.
Thank you for reaching out!
It is normal to think, feel, and interact with your own conscious mind as it projects onto the physical world. To think of suicide everyday wouldn't be considered normal or generally healthy at all, for the reason that these thoughts can be manifested into a reality of your own. Your health should pretty much always come first and those thoughts that counter the ones of suicide should be considered your good thoughts. You are important and without you, how many things can you personally imagine could go wrong? The dominoes that fall and collapse onto each other affect people to people, so how much of an impact would a suicide really have? The answer should be "a lot", whether you realise it or not. There is always another way, just remember that.
For urgent action please refer to 7cups.com/crisis for support as listeners on 7 cups are not trained to support those fully in suicidal thoughts. After receiving support for suicidal tendencies, ideation you are welcome to chat 1-1 with our listeners. Wishing you get all the support needed!
First off I want to say that I am sorry that you feel like suicide is perhaps the only option, also that I get it and you are far from alone in this.
Unfortunately, suicide or suicidal thoughts are a common experience in so many peoples lives; this to say, that doesn't normalise it or make it okay. You don't have to face these thoughts alone, there is a whole community here to support you. If you can reach out to your family and friends, let them know a bit about what is going on, and perhaps see a therapist (did you know that you can access counselling online? you can even do it here on 7Cups) though we are not professionally trained, if you are not in danger of acting on these thoughts (if you are call a hotline or go to the hospital as we are not a emergency service) you are more than welcome to connect with a listener here at 7Cups, we are always here for you.
If you ever want to chat, I am here for you, don't be afraid to reach out.
I know that reaching out can be the hardest and most rewarding thing, and I know that you are brave from just asking this question.
Best of luck

No it isn't normal, it is very dangerous, harmful, and you think of yourself as a dumb, innocent person. Going through daily struggles of your life, like maybe parents fighting, dealing with bullies, depression, being a teen, and wayyy way more... But just know you have to go with the flow of things in your life, through the tough and the bad. KNow that there indeed is people for you, you just have to find them...Know that you aren't the only one dealing with this, and mostly know that you were given life for a reason, for people to love, hate, hurt, you and feel. (way more things)
No. It is not normal to be feeling this way, but you are not alone. Search for things you love, keep yourself occupied, talk. TALK! communication is the most important step to recovery (after acceptance). Talk to someone you trust and always feel welcomed to talk to me or anyone here. But just know, you are worthy, you are loved, it may not feel like it, but you have a important purpose in this world.

Unfortunately suicide is common. Thinking about suicide is wanting whatever pain you have to end. It is natural to want pain to stop, but for a person to want to end it by dying, says that the pain takes over their lives. So it is normal in a sense that it is common, but not normal as in it should be brushed off. It is never good for pain to take over our lives. If this feels like it is happening for you, seek help from other people, like doctors and other professionals. You can also visit http://www.suicide.org/. Also remember that you are never alone. So many people these days are going through a lot of pain. The good news is that others want to help you. In fact some even make it there job to help you.

Not for most people, it's best to get some help if you're feeling this way. No one is alone, and everyone needs help sometimes. Don't be afraid to get help. No one is alone in this world and you shouldn't be nervous or feel ashamed for feeling this way. I have delt with this as well but keeping it in for a long time only makes things worse, getting help will sufice. Make sure you don't put yourself in places you know hurt you, try your best to be happy. If it all goes down, contact people you love it will help.

It sounds like a very painful place to be. I have gone through a period where I though about suicide almost every single day. I felt terrible and ashamed of who I was and felt like I will make the world a brighter place if I just leave already. It was a very painful place to be, because as much as I felt I could not continue on, I still couldn’t bring myself to actually kill myself. And I think somewhere inside, I wanted to live. I wanted to get better. I wanted to be better. As time passed, I realized it isn’t about changing, but about acceptance of who I am. This is the most powerful thing I could do for myself to make myself want to continue living.

I think it depends on the circumstances. It is often a symptom of depression which can be treated, but because people don't normally talk about, it can become a bigger problem over time. It is also a symptom of other issues like personality disorders, ptsd, addiction, and se,xual abuse...
I have thought about grief and death, but not necessarily suicide, for me it's like a constant dullness or feeling of boredom every day. It feels more like emotions are trapped in the body and that death can be a helpful release, but I rarely thought about a specific plan to carry it out...

At times, I’ve struggled with suicidal thoughts, even on a weekly basis.
Sometimes I’m able to ignore them. I might be driving to meet a friend for brunch and briefly think about driving my car off the road. The thought might catch me off-guard, but it quickly passes through my mind and I go about my day.
But other times, these thoughts stick around. It’s like a huge weight is dropped onto me, and I’m struggling to get out from underneath it. I suddenly get an intense urge and desire to end it all, and the thoughts can start to overwhelm me.
In those moments, I’m convinced I’ll do anything to get out from under that weight, even if it means ending my life. It’s like there’s a glitch in my brain that’s triggered and my mind goes haywire.
Even if that glitch is actually temporary, it can feel like it will last forever
With time, though, I’ve become more aware of these thoughts and found ways to manage when things get tough. It’s taken a lot of practice, but simply being aware of the lies my brain tells me when I’m suicidal helps to combat them.
If this last year has taught me anything, it’s that no matter what depression tells you, there’s always hope.
As blunt as this may sound, no it is not. Suicide is a serious matter and involves the act of killing a human being. It may not seem as serious to you as an individual as you are speaking about performing it on yourself, however, try to imagine yourself performing the act of murder on someone else. Would you still be able to do it? When you have suicide thoughts, try to think about the fact that you have been given the opportunity to walk this earth, make an identity of yourself and create your own story. Instead of thinking back to the earlier chapters of your story that may have caused these suicidal thoughts, try thinking forward of what your story might have in store for you. As someone who has thought of what it would be like, I can justify that the future will have things planned for you that you may not ever expect. Try to get yourself out of that mindset of "maybe I should do it" and find things that are a reason not to, whether it is something that seems as insignificant as "I shouldn't because I laughed at a meme/joke today". Repeating good things will lift your mood up even if it takes time. If this does not seem right for you, try thinking about your family, if you have a good bond with them try thinking about how devastated they will feel to lose you.
My answer to this question would have to be no. It is not normal to think about suicide daily. The reason this may be happening on a regular basis is the state of your thoughts and being in a depressed state of mind to long. If this is happening I would suggest that you seek professional help. It is not a good thing to be in that state of mind for long periods of time. Are you alone at home or are there others around you? Is there anyone that you trust that you can talk to about this problem? Keeping silent about what you are feeling is not good nor safe. I am so sorry that you are entertaining these thoughts daily. We here at 7cups would love to support you and listen to you. Just please find the courage to reach out for help.

It is unusual to think about suicide everyday. This usually happens when a traumatic even occurs. If someone is extremely upset for a long period of time they might feel suicidal. It is important to have support. Support can help with comfort and feeling needed. It can also keep you and your mind busy. It is also important to ger as much information from that person as much as possible to see what their intent is to harm themselves. I would ask now tell me have you had any thoughts on harming yourself? If, so do you have a plan to harm yourself?
Thoughts of death have held power over you and you are not sure where to turn or what to do and the day in and the day out of the matter keeps coming back to you and in this there seems like a loss of peace and hope where no light can be seen in the mess that life has become in your thoughts. This touchstone of darkness keeps repeating on and on and on and on and there appears to be no end in such thoughts and nowhere else to turn, but think about it again and again, without fail.
"Normal" is relative. What is normal to me (eating vegetarian, for example) might be absolutely strange to someone else. That said, usually thoughts of suicide are majorly disruptive to every day life. If you are thinking about suicide daily and feel like it is having a negative impact on your life, it is probably in your best interest to seek professional help so that you can better understand your situation and start the process of making a change for the better in your life. Taking this step can be challenging. The pay off can be great, however. Using 7 cups can also help.

I think it is not "normal", because not everyone is doing this every day. But you are definitely not alone either!! The same way not everybody is coughing and sneezing everyday. But if you are, this doesn't mean you are "abnormal", it just means that it is time for a professional to help you with this. Because the same way coughing and sneezing is interfering with your allday life, suicidal thoughts have the tendency to interrupt our life quite dramatically. And it is harder to keep going when there is something this heavy on your mind. I believe it is crucial to know that you are not alone, other people feel and have this too, and there are people who are trained to help you with precisely this issue.
