The other night I had a very strong suicidal vision/feeling. I was just driving and I didn't really even feel that sad but I suddenly had an image put into my head of me driving myself into a tree. A voice told me "Just do it. No one's gonna care, just do it. This time tomorrow, they'll already have forgotten you."
Is this what being suicidal feels like? I have a lot of feelings about how I should just end it all because I have no reason to go on, but they've never been this strong or this sudden or this...real. I don't think I wanted this; I don't think I really want to kill myself, but my mind does...? What was this strange phenomenon?

A strange thought can pop into a person's head. Unless there is a strong compulsion to follow through, that is not a problem.
Since these thoughts seem to be frequent with you, you should consider talking with a counselor. Some one who can ask you more questions and give you feedback. Don't let a friend convince you that it is nothing or you are nuts. A profession can give you a more reliable answer, whether that is reassurance or more intensive follow-up.

I don't think you could call in involuntary. When those thoughts enter into your head there could be some underling issue. I think you should talk to someone because what happens if it happens again and the voice over takes you and you do smash into the tree? On top of that people will miss you. You could affect people you don't even think notice.

Occasional thoughts Like this are normal, however, If you are believing the voice in your head just a smidgen, or having repeated thoughts, a psychologist may need to be seen.

I am not trying to freak you out, but see a therapist. People will miss you. People think nobody will miss them, but people will. Sadly I have had those feelings. One of the things that helped me was getting a pet. You will be responsible for him/her and that animal will miss you. It will pass, DON'T listen to the voice!

I'm like this sometimes (like when i feel like the whole world hates me). I saw a psych. and now it occurs less often and when it does occur i assure myself that there are people that love me and that this is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.
