Am I considered suicidal?

I am fairly happy and okay with life at the moment. But I always have thoughts that pop into my head about dying or killing myself even though I don't want to kill myself? It's really hard to explain, like my mom will tell me to do something I don't want to do or I'll think about work the next day and think "well if I committed suicide I wouldn't have to do it" I know suicise is a really serious issue and I shouldn't be taking it so lightly but I'm wondering if I could be classified as suicidal, I've never attempted suicide before btw

    Many people with depression experience these thoughts, but there's a difference between thinking and doing.

    If you never attempted it then youre not suicidal.

    Thats like me saying oh I imagine myself having sex with Megan Fox, does that make me a fornicator lol
