Is it normal to have thoughts about suicide?

I don't know if it's "normal", but I have the thoughts occasionally. I had never had any suicidal thoughts until I was 20. Then, under extreme emotional distress, I thought about it constantly and attempted suicide once. Fortunately, I was too stupid to do it successfully, and I lived. The pain remained though for years. Thoughts of suicide became my go-to plan after that, any time that I ran into severe emotional distress. But considering suicide is only a temporary coping mechanism for me now, just used until I can take a breath and think rationally. I'd never kill myself now. By the time I reached 24, I knew that I could beat and outlast any pain, physical or mental, and that "tomorrow" always brings with it relief and joys. I just have to hang on for a while. I'm 63 now, and life has never been better.

Suicide, like drugs, alcohol, cutting, and other self-destructive behaviors, is a coping mechanism for people too inexperienced with life to know that it can get better, too inexperienced to know that there are constructive avenues that will relieve the pain, despair and depression, more effectively and long-term than the destructive means.

The first thing you need, from what little I see in your questions of today, is to call a suicide hotline so that you'll have someone outside your family and friends that you can talk with honestly and openly. You don't have to be in the middle of a suicide attempt to call them. You need to talk to someone you can trust, who will keep your identity confidential, who understands what you are going through because they either were suicidal at one point or work with suicidal people all the time. But you've got to talk to someone. Your friends, who are your own age, probably won't be much help because they're as inexperienced as you are. Get help. There's no shame or embarrassment in that. EVERYONE needs help to get through life, from the presidents and generals down to the garbage collectors and bums on the street. Help doesn't come from a pill, a needle, a razor, or people who think exactly like you do. Get help. I'll pray for you.

I think you should first try to figure out why you're experiencing these thought patterns. What exactly brought you to this attitude? Did something big happen in your life? It's very likely. You don't have to say it here in public, you already know (I hope) in your heart. But stay strong, we all feel extremely discouraged, frustrated and demotivated at times. Start looking for Jesus, and you will find Him. Ask for help, humble yourself and truly repent for all the mistakes you've made in the past, because nobody's perfect. We all need God's love: our Lord is greatly merciful towards those who submit, recognize their own faults and serve Him according to His will. You are already loved: Jesus died on the cross for you and me. He gave his LIFE so that we could all have the chance to be eternally saved. He wants to help and support you, so that you too can be welcomed in Heaven among the righteous. Start today: read and listen the Word of God, improve yourself. Let go of your past sins (demons within you made you do it, it's not really your fault!!! But you still must repent). Purify your heart and your reward will be GREAT!!! God ALWAYS answers his children. I'm with you. Remember that it's a process, usually it requires some time. But you have a responsibility towards yourself. You've been created with love by God, and you want to throw your life away like that? Our time here is limited. Enjoy it :) Serve God's will, not yours anymore. My guess is that somehow the devil is tempting you. Reject him and don't believe your negative thoughts!!! Empower the light within you, so that you can make it through. Remember, with God EVERYTHING becomes possible. Get right with the Lord as soon as possible, because his Kingdom is at hand!!! Jesus' second coming is almost Here, so be prepared in your Spirit. Learn more about Him, get a Bible, or read the Gospel. I'll pray the Lord to give you all the LOVE and inner STRENGTH you need to rise again. If you feel desperate, just cry as much as you can. It's a healing process and Jesus will go through it with you!!!

Most people have suicidal periods in their lives. Just have to weather it through. That, and figure out how to put more fun stuff in your life, usually that means people and especially love.

you need to talk to your prarents or counselor at school. they can get you the help you need. It could be as simple as just normal teen depression issues.

It is not normal. Well, put it this way, at any one time a quarter of the world population is suffering a serious mental disease. They know that from the statistics the UN get from signatory nations. What is a serious mental disease. One that can kill someone. So the choice is murder or suicide or murder and suicide. But that's only a quarter. The other three quarters arent thinking murder or suicide or murder and suicide. So no, it isnt normal. A majority of the population dont normally have thoughts of suicide.

I think you have what I have. It's an inherited, inbred, royal, dynastic, ruler-warrior savantism that was developed by aristocratic bloodstock breeding when the population of the Indus Valley civilization began to expand faster than its rulers could profitably water, feed, clothe, house and educate / employ them, and who sent on missions to survey new lands, invade them, cull all the conquered indigenous males, tup all the conquered indigenous females, pillage and plunder all the conquered territories and possessions, and farm and mine that territory and deliver the produce to their rulers back in the Indus Valley civilisation; and when their mission was finished, kill themselves to save their families having the expense of fetching them home, having them autopsied, holding funerary rituals and services and burying or burning them.

They were renowned for being suicidally ferocious in war and suicidally reckless in peace. Fast forward to 1066, and the Norman conquest of England, Duke William II of Normandy needed his ruler warriors to be suicidally courageous in war and non suicidally reckless in peace, as he needed them to rule England for him for 20 years for him to claim it as his real estate. So he set up a County Surveyors Society on the day of his coronation as the King of England and chartered and commissioned it with the task of promulgating arts and sciences of a pedagogy he had been taught of suicide avoidance and prevention as a dedicated Knight of the Holy Roman Catholic Order of Christ. He called its members his Yeomen and Squires of the Shires, and when England became his real estate, he appointed them as his County Surveyors.

Every subsequent monarch of England maintained and supported the County Surveyors Society he founded, as they comprised the County Surveyors he appointed to draw up and maintain the Great Book of Winchester, later called Domesday Book or Doomsday Book, as the definitive lawful record of the territory of the British Isles that was the Crown Estate of England.

Until 31st March 1997, that is, when it was wound up at the behest of the UN as it believed we were all nuts. This notion had been mooted in the Second World War after Leo Kanner in the USA had written about Infantile Autism and Hans Asperger in Austria had written about Autistic Psychopathy. In Britain however it was subject to the Official Secrets Acts so was kept hush hush. But things came to a head the year that I qualified as an Esquire of the Society, and I was involved in writing new legislation to facilitate new routes to qualifying to replace the old route by1968/9 and 20 years on, in 1989, a new Official Secrets Act was passed so as to enable this information to be released 25 years on from that Act to protect national interests.So, approaching and during 2014 there was a flurry of activity revealing that we are 2½ times as likely to die prematurely, and if we don't suffer mental developmental delays in the course of growing up, like me, we have a very much higher risk of it being by suicide. As children we are on average 28 times as likely as our peers to contemplate / attempt suicide, and, as adults we are on average 9 times as,likely as our peers to contemplate suicide, as the ⅔ most vulnerable of us don't reach adulthood, It's because we suffer on average between 9 and 28 times as much hypersensitivity as our peers and the worst affected see suicide as the quickest and easiest means of escape from the sensory overwhelm into meltdown sudden assaults on our normal tolerance zones spontaneously trigger. So, for some of us it is normal to have thoughts about suicide - I attempted suicide over 2,200 times by the time I was 15½ - but none from then until I was 55 by which time I had become the only qualified instructor of the suicide avoidance and prevention pedagogy of the Society and was teaching it via the internet.
