Is it normal to want to die?

Question

I find myself daydreaming about suicide and what it would be like to die. I just have nothing to live for. Are these thoughts normal?

Answer 1

IT's not abnormal

Answer 2

Yes. As a matter of fact, I often ask myself the very thing. Well, I don't daydream so much about dying as a SENSUOUS experience as I do about its repercussions, as in what the turnout to my funeral will be like, the impact on relatives/friends etc. I don't have anything to live for either. I used to be something of an aspiring writer but now due to some sort of psychological impediment I can't write anything decent and second-guess myself on literally every other word. But I digress. In conclusion, yes, those thoughts are normal assuming they aren't RECURRENT or DEBILITATING (as in, THEY ALONE obstruct you from deriving ANY ENJOYMENT WHATSOEVER from life). As long as you don't act on impulses that may potentially stem from those fantasies, you're good. I would think.

get help, please; call 911 or a hot-line or go to emergency room and explain to the workers there; i hope u get help; or go to Mental Health; there is Help; once I prayed to die - every nite for several weeks or it may have been a few mo's; but Thank God - that HE did not let me die THEN; now I hope to live to be 100 plus; i'm now 55, female. Pray to Jesus/God; he will help you; ask him to come into your life and to help you to be happy; He understands - when nobody else does. I have photo of Jesus in my living room and I often look at it and Thank HIM for All his past and present help and I ask him to be with me and my family. I need to do MORE, tho---for the work of the Lord; I have bi-polar disorder and am not able to go to many places; I never feel like going anywhere except to see my sis and parents and it's hard for me to get there; and it's hard for me to get to groc. stores; I never feel like shopping; too tired all the time! I live on low income & so tired of it, but some folks have no income at all! So i need to be thankful for what I do have, which is not much, but i'm not starving yet. and I appreciate my groceries more than my sisters who are more financially well-off and not bi-polar nor mentally ill ? if so, they did not have a nervous break-down - like i did, yrs. ago. I never get to buy any new clothes, but keep hopeing to be better off financially, some-day. 8 more mo's to have a large bill paid and off me! best wishes; please do not commit suicide; things will probably get better. Life Is PRECIOUS. You might need anti-depressants or some type nerve med's like I do! I sleep 12 to 20 hrs, some days--due to my medication (zyprexa 2.5 mg. per day! been back on it 3 yrs. I SURE HOPE U WILL FEEL BETTER ; REMEMBER U HAVE FRIEND, (ME). LADY in Ga. - USA, age 55. white, female; doesn't matter what color you are!
all persons are equal.

Everyone at some point in there existence thinks that thy want to die , the thing is you think this because this is the only answer to escape what it troubling you be patient there are to many that die now and don't even have to think about anything but wanting to live

Answer 5

I used to think it was normal for me. I would think about it on a daily basis. Depression does that to you. I think you should definitely consider getting help. There is always something to live for, no matter how hopeless it seems. You just may not have discovered what it is yet. But to answer your question it is definitely not normal to want to die.

Answer 6

I think it's normal to think like that I did once upon a time h ell maybe twice it's a wrap now that i have kids that would be a selfish thing for me to do. So you got to think of who you would be doing justice to if you were to do such a thing and if you're life is worthless today that means some point of time it's going to get better promise.

Answer 8

I nearly killed myself this summer on a very sad and confused night, but I stuck around and things have gotten so much better. I wouldn't say you're not normal, but don't kill yourself.

Answer 9

Nowadays, there is really nothing worth to live for. So it is normal for you to think like that.
