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 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 “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.

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
