Is there something wrong with thinking about killing yourself? But you know you wont actually do it.?

Update:

I'm not depressed or anything. At least I don't think so. I only think about this when I'm upset. Though, I have held a knife in my hand and tried but I don't have the guts to do it because I'll miss my friends and family. Also, because I yet haven't achieved my dream. If I kill myself I won't get to do the great things i plan for the future.

    yes. that's how everyone gets led down the path and the next thing is they find themselves actually doing it. bad actions begin as bad thoughts, some people just get carried away when they could have stopped thinking about it but chose not to.

    Believe me my father died when I was nine . I'm not gona say I didn't think about it but every time I got that image in my head I had another one my family grieving and then in those moments I felt how selfish I would have been if I followed through with it but don't worry everyone feels low at times you've just got to look at the things that make life with living.....maybe family :)

    Actually thats very bad and if you feel this way call the suicide hotline crisis number .

    Also I have had 2 friends who attempted by putting a shotgun under their chin and pulling the trigger ...

    The Only Problem then is they lived.

    Had to have their head heald back together with bolts....

    I have had those thoughts before just thinking who would go to my funeral and what people would say. It's not that weird, just make sure that if you are depressed and think about it, get help and talk to someone other than yahoo answers. Things do get better :)
