It's not healthy, no. It's something that many people think about, so you are not alone. However I would encourage speaking to your GP or a mental health charity such as mind - in order to discuss some of your feelings. Take care of yourself and allow yourself to heal

It depends- when you have recently experienced a brush with suicide (in your community or circle) it would be very normal to think about that pain and struggle daily. However, if you're considering it for yourself, that may be a time to talk to someone and reach out- it's a terrible burden to bear alone.

I wouldn't say it is normal, no. I think if you are experiencing this you should immediately seek therapy

Death is part of who we are as humans. The one very thing we have in common is we are all born and then we all leave this earthly classroom. How we enter and exit can be different, but we all leave at one point or another. As scary as it can be for some, it's very interesting to ponder about for others. Sometimes it's overwhelming and stimulating - causing a lot of fear in our being. Suicide is a part of death - but it's almost like you choose what you want to happen when you want it to happen. But if you are thinking about it constantly and it's starting to disturb or interrupt your everyday living... then I would seriously consider therapy. Talk therapy or a psychiatrist is an excellent start to help get these thoughts out of your head and into words to describe to a professional who will then help you to figure out WHY you are really thinking these thoughts and how it makes you feel. Especially if you have strong emotions connected to suicide and you have feelings of hopelessness or doubts about yourself, please ... go talk to someone. Therapy is not bad, scary or embarrassing.. it's maintenance work that we all need to do for ourselves time and again. Just like a cell phone or technology needs maintenance or a reboot/upgrade - so do we! We need self love and self care. Therapy is a great start for that.

It's not normal to think about suicide everyday. Have I ever thought of it before? Yes. But do I think about it everyday? No. I personally feel that thinking about suicide only makes me cherish the things that are important to me more, things like my friends, family, colleagues...

Normal is subjective, and when it comes to thoughts of suicide, you're actively thinking about ending your life. To live is what we're hardwired to do at the most fundamental level, and to actively think about going against that isn't normal. You might have gotten used to it, but that's no way to live and it sure isn't normal. You can always attempt to offset these thoughts by seeking help and support and surrounding yourself with positivity.

No. One might think about suicide every day for a period of time, but if this continues unbidden for some time, one should seek some sort of external assistance.

I'd say that most people don't have suicidal thoughts that regularly, but whether or not it is 'normal', it isn't something you should have to deal with. Even if you don't feel at risk now, I'd really encourage you get help because this could become something which causes a lot of damage, and you really don't deserve to go through that. Humans are supposed to have a survival instinct and if this is being doubted and undermined everyday by your suicidal thoughts, something is wrong - so please reach out to someone! I promise things will get better, and these thoughts won't last forever.

It’s not normal. I used to think like that. So I went to a doctor. I was depressed. He put me on medication and slowly the thoughts went away. I don’t have them anymore. I’d recommend seeking out a suicide hot line, a counselor, and a doctor that specializes on depression and suicidal thoughts.

That is not a normal or healthy feeling. Please see someone about these feelings. There is also the national suicide hotline which is completely anonymous.

I personally believe it is not normal to think about suicide daily. suicide is a serious issue. suicidal thoughts are real and daunting.

Well in my opinion sucide is not a good thing to think about. Now i know you might be going through something that has made you feel this way but seeing someone to help you with that is a good thing to do when you feel this way.

Obviously thinking about suicide every day is not being in a good place. There's no question that if you're in that state of mind, you should seek out a friend or trusted relative. If you don't feel better, please seek professional help. There are several online counseling services, just ready to work with you. You can also go to suicide.org to connect with someone trained to speak with you.

I would say no, it is not. However, sometimes you may start to feel so down that these thoughts may occur everyday. If so, I would recommend talking to someone. Family, friends, someone here on 7 cups that could start the help and lead you to possibly getting some professional help.

It's not normal. I think you should contact a school nurse, teacher, parent, older sibling etc so someone you trust knows. It's really not normal, and it's a red flag. Please, seek help for your own sake. It's not a shame, it's not stupid, it's worth it, and it might help a lot.

Many people will think about suicide during their lifetime but if you find yourself thinking about it everyday you should find support through the various helplines available.

A lot of individuals feel this way, there are those that just contemplate the action and those that feel they have no way out but there is help out there and nobody is alone.

if you think about it everyday, you should really talk to someone about it. Something could be upsetting you that triggers you to think about suicide

When we talk about something being normal there isn't really an accurate definition for it. With something like this though its not so much abnormal but it is concerning. There are links and numbers for helplines you can find on here. Please don't feel like you're on your own, there are people who want to help.

It may be a normative behaviour if you are very depressed. Seek help immediately - seek medical advice, phone a hotline or connect with a friend

No, it’s not normal to think everyday how to end with a beautiful life. Each life is important, solutions are everywhere, and suicide it’s not an option

Thinking yes, but suicide no. They must be a particular reason why there is a Suicidal Thoughts occurs in the mind everyday, and what are the causes to that thinking. It could be, perhaps that you were bullied, harassed, break-ups and others that lead to a state of mind where you feel like you are worthless and no one to talk to, and you want to end your life by thinking about it. So No, it's not normal to think about suicide everyday. Best to seek out professional help.

No it is not. One doesn't think about ending one's life if one isn't unhappy with it. Maybe you feel you can't get anything done, feel goalless. But that is what you FEEL and not necessarily a true reflection of reality. It's ok to feel down and sad sometimes. But if you are feeling suicidal, on a regular basis or not, you should seek professional help. Only a professional can properly guide you through your emotions. You can also keep yourself sorrounded by positive people - good friends, family members. Don't forget to smile and have a good day!

Normal or anormal isn't the point. Thinking about suicide everyday has one or several serious topics in the background causing such thoughts. If such topics exist, it isn't anormal to think about suicide daily, but still it is essential to tackle the underlying issue to not let them grow further, but resolve them. It could be important to consult a therapist for support!

Simple answer: no. If you are thinking about suicide or even just don't feel like yourself, please go get help. Talk to friends and family, find a therapist, etc. If you are not happy, find ways to feel better. People around you love you an will be very willing to help, you just need to let them know.
