For a "normal" person, how often would one imagine thoughts of suicide or of simply the death of oneself?

none..
there is no reason, so I would try to not think about it. that is possible too. you do really need to figure out why your so curious abou it, and solve it.
I am by no means normal, but I don't think of killing myself, or wanting to die in any way.
If that happens, so be it, but not by any intentional means by my own hand or cause.
if you can't get over it,, then I would suggest a little help, you can get it. There are plenty of lines that will help you for free.

Studies shown that an average person thinks about suicide at least 10 times in lifespan, most of these thoughts come from hard situations a person had to affront, or just because you would like to know the answer to: what happens after death, should i suicide and see what happens, is there an afterlife.
If you are thinking about suicide in a common basis, because you are considering it an option, get help, in the other hand if you just thought about what it feels to die, or any other existential question, talking with a friend about it will help you.

It depends on what triggers the thought. If you wake up in the morning and thing "I want to die" you probably need professional help. If you drive by a severe accident and think "what if that were me" maybe slightly more normal.
Thoughts are just thoughts, everyone occasionaly thinks about death, otherwise people wouldn't write wills and living trusts. Desiring death is a totally different situation which indicates a possible mental health problem.

ok...stop and think
I've been sucidal myself a couple of years ago, but got over it myself,but it comes back sometimes. I think it's better to get professional help.
Listen suicidal people are like on a fence. They can go either way...so they are easily pulled on way or another. Just try.
Suicide is a permanent solution so a temporary problem. Nothing is worth it.
And make sure if you get help that they have training in it...cause if you go to a school councellor or something...they might not...and talk to friends/ parents/loving ppl for support.
Hope you feel better soon.

For a "normal" person, they shouldn't really have suicidal thoughts.
I have had suicidal thoughts and then I started cutting myself so, I think you should maybe see a councler and get help before something actually drive you to comitt suicide.

An emotionally stable person does not think about suicide and death. If you are talking about yourself, get help right away. Medication and talk therapy will help very much.

It is a little strange you would be asking this without feeling a little suicidal yourself. Suicide can be a scary life threatening thing it is not to be played around with.

actually 'normal' people think of suicide and death quite often, just not like plans for suicide or methods.

Suicide is a terrible thought, killing a person who is the image of God who created him. It is totally unnecessary, because all of us can live a fantastic and meaningful life according to God's instruction. The best thing in life is to know, and trust in, Jesus Christ, the giver of Eternal life in Heaven.
