Is it normal to think about suicide everyday?

NO IT IS NOT. If you are thinking about suicide everyday, please talk to an expert, it will help you! Suicide is never an option, there is a solution to every problem. And if there is not, you can still avoid it.

Yes. Most people will think about suicide or have thoughts of dying. But there's a difference between casual thoughts of suicide and active suicidal intent. Normal suicidal thoughts can come up daily. Like at the train station, you may see a train coming and realize that you could jump out in front of the train and die. Or when hiking in the mountains, you may walk along a narrow cliff and realize that you could just fall off and probably die. Or when driving, you may think of how easy it would be to die in an accident. The common theme here is called passive suicidal ideation. You realize that you are mortal and could die from any number of things- not waking up in the morning, having an accident, jumping into traffic. Suicidal ideation is a problem when you're thinking about taking active steps to kill yourself. Things like counting how many pills you have and wondering if you would die from taking them all. Or checking the train schedules to see if there's a train that could hit you on your lunch break. You get the picture. It's a lot of similar situations, but in this case you're actively planning how you would die rather than simply noticing that you could. If you're actively planning how you might kill yourself, seek help from emergency services. If you just notice yourself thinking about suicide often but not actively, you probably don't need emergency services but you could benefit from talking to a doctor or counselor to manage your mood.

no, but i blieve that people who actually kill themselves are much braver than people who don't. It takes courage to end your own life. And people on earth are terified of everything. Although I am not promoting suicide, I am just saying that people judge suicidal peole way to quickly. Many people who say they will kil themselves actually never will. but if someone does say they will you never know so it is smart to help them and get them to talk it out anyways. Suicide is only growing, and it is unhealthy and everyone deals with it at one point.

Is it Normal? No, No person should contemplate ending their life over a temporary situation. Although, in today’s society, folks seem to think of it more frequently. Hence why I became a Listener; hoping that I can touch someone’s life in a positive manner, like I have had folks touch mine. Nothing/No One in this world is worth taking ones life, and with the proper assistance any issues can be overcome. I know at that present time it might seem like the only answer, the best answer. I can say though, that it isn’t. There is help out there, and life is worth living!

It is difficult to say yes or no and I’ll explain why. It can be “normal” if there is an existing mental condition like anxiety or depression. Then these thoughts can feel like normal thoughts. It shouldn’t be this way though. If you are feeling suicidal or have suicidal thoughts daily find someone to talk to about this. 7 cups is a great platform or else find a therapist or psychiatrist that can help you find the root of these thoughts and they can help you eliminate these thoughts. Don’t ever forget that your life is so valuable and that it is worth it to find happiness.

Maybe for some people it is not normal especially for those who did not ever experience the struggle you have been through. Some might think that it helped to unwrap things but it is not healthy getaway. It is not always okay though to have that kind of thought. I hope you the best, if you ever thought about doing it please do not. Distract yourself from that kind of thought by thinking your favorite things, things that make you happy and glad to be alive. Reach out to someone you trust and try to talk about it or get help from professionals. Stay live, it is going to worth it.

It's something that happens to lot's of people. So yes, it is normal. However, you should talk to someone about it because there are better solutions. I recommend trying to go to therapy, talking to a counselor, or even contacting a hotline. If you are queer or questioning, The Trevor Project is probably the hotline for you. If you are a survivor of sexual assault, RAINN is probably for you. If you are neither of those things than the National Suicide Prevention Hotline is probably for you. You are not alone.

It is clearly not normal to think about suicide everyday. Probably a lot of people go through a moment of crisis and think about suicide maybe once or twice in their lfetime. Humans are naturally animals with a desire to live, not die. If you are thinking about suicide everyday you are most definetley having an emotiomally difficult time.. please though seek professional help. Trust me, I know what it feels like. You are worth living. Alright maybe life seems worthless and maybe you feel worthless. But you know what, you probably have somebody that cares for you and you might not be seeing it. I do not know you or the story in your life but let me just tell you that life is so much more than you are experimencing right now. Make up your own life.

I don't know about "normal", but is definitely not a healthy behavior and no one should be having these thoughts. But, if you are having these thoughts, you are probably dealing with some kind of depression too, in that case it would be less "rare" to be thinking about suicide, because depression can be very drowning and lonely. But it is till very unhealthy, so if you are having these thoughts and you are actually listening to them, PLEASE, reach to someone as soon as possible. There is always some kind heart willing to listen and help you, even here in this platform, we are available, I am available for you❤.

Not particularly. Those thoughts can gradually progress into worse things which could harm you even more. Seeing a doctor or therapist about it sounds scary and unrealistic, but once you're walking into the waiting room you know that you're glad to be getting help. They can ask you a few questions and evaluate how you're feeling, and might even prescribe medication if they feel that they should. If you can find the cause of the thoughts it could help you, improving your lifestyle like getting more sleep or doing more exercise can release endorphins and brighten your mood.

To be honest, it depends on how you’re thinking about it. There are ways where it’s not a problem, for example, a loved one tried to or succeeded in committing suicide, and you feel bad, or miss them. But if it’s more, what would happen if I did, or most importantly, making “fictional” plans. Imaging how exactly you’d do it, when, what you would write. That’s not normal. I know from personal experience. I thought it was completely normal until a close friend of mine told me it wasn’t, she showed me articles and studies about suicidal thoughts affecting you’re life. Please reach out for help, parents, friends, so, teacher, counselor.

Thinking about suicide every day is not something that people typically do. Are you safe right now? Have you started to form a plan or idealize how you might accomplish it? Are you feeling hopeless, as if suicide is the only way to solve your problems? These are all signs that you need to get some help right away. Since you're thinking about suicide so often, I recommend you get an appointment to talk to a trained therapist who can help you manage these thoughts. It can be difficult to talk about them, but getting them out of your head and having a professional help you understand why you're feeling that way can help lead you back to a healthy mindset. Stay safe and stay alive friend.

No. In short, just no. The idea of suicide creeping into your thoughts regularly can be confusing and scary - you find yourself wondering if this is really something you want, as you are thinking about it so often. The thoughts going through your mind so regularly may begin to feel normal and you may learn how to ignore or fight against them, but deep down you know they shouldn't really be there. They've made themselves at home and you don't know if you're fighting them or welcoming them - but although there is no true "normal", know that you are not supposed to be living a life where thoughts of death are replacing thoughts of life. Maybe suicide is something you will always think about, but it doesn't have to be something that controls you. Being aware of the thoughts, accepting them as not normal and learning how to cope with them is a huge step towards feeling more control. You will not always want this, you will feel differently at some point, and you will find the things in your life that are worth fighting the thoughts for.

No, it's not. If you're thinking about suicide that much, I really suggest you talk to someone of seek help. I know how painful it can be. You don't have to deal with this alone. Now, I also don't like to use "normal", because that could mean many things. For some of us, thoughts of suicide are our normal, as in they are what we're used to even though they are very unhealthy thoughts stemming from mental illness. It's normal in the sense that it's relatively common, but also not because the majority don't experience suicidal thoughts. What thinking about suicide every day is, is not healthy. It may not be "normal" but it doesn't make you abnormal.

Many people have those thoughts. However, I think it is important to not let those thoughts reach a dangerous point. Depression plays a huge part in suicidal thoughts. I think it is SUPER important to reach out to someone if the thoughts get severe, to the point where you are wanting to actively act on them. Some people find talking to the suicide prevention lifeline helpful as well. (1-800-273-8255) Maybe just being able to let some things off your chest, and being able to vent about the stuff that's going on in your life can help to relase some stress, and possibly minimize how often you think about it. It actually works for a lot of people :)

I don't think so. Obviously, if you're in a profession or place where outreach or prevention is part of your career or your day to day routine, that's different. But it has to be recovery-based. There is a big shift in teens and young adults that I've noticed in the past few years: as we get more comfortable discussing suicide and mental health, we naturally turn to humor in an attempt to cope. This is natural, but taking it too far not only normalizes, but can even romanticize depression or thoughts of suicide and make us complicit rather than recovery minded. It's important to remember that mental illness does not define us. It's important to communicate openly and honestly, but if we let ourselves fall into cycles where we're stuck on talk of depression or suicide ideation, we are giving these thoughts time, space, and agency. Try to replace these conversations or thoughts with positivity - talk not about suicide, but of the reasons you have to live.

It is not. Please don't think about suicides every now and then. People who end their lives go against the life cycle and get trapped. It's worse than being dead. You will be in much more pain than you initially were in. Start looking at things that make you happy, go out, feel the air and make friends. Live for yourself and the parents because of whom you are here. Everyone has problems of different levels and intensity, but we should never give up. Show your life that you survived and that you are strong enough to handle battles rather than surrendering. See how your life changes. :)

Thinking about suicide every day is an indication there is something deeply troubling you. You really need to find someone to talk to, preferably a professional. Together, you can figure out why you are having these thoughts and such. Then, you can get to the root of the problem and take care of it. If you are not ready to speak to a professional, please talk to someone, be it a a relative, friend or a listener here at 7 cups. Speaking to someone is very important. Please do so as soon as possible. Constant suicide thoughts are a sign of a deep and intense depression.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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 “crazy”. 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.

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)
