Hi Cybil...I can't speak for other people but I suspect that most of us have considered suicide at one time or another in our lives. Have you?
And what is normal? Welcome to the forum!

At the old forum, I think there was a good discussion on suicidal ideation or maybe my feeble mind is wrong. I do agree with Alffe that most of us have probably considered it at one time or another.

Hi cybil -- Welcome
You will be "safe" and comfortable here so please feel free to talk. IMHO there's a big difference in thinking about suicide and thinking about commiting suicide. I've thought about both and I can recognize each one. |

I talked about 'suicidal ideation' a couple of times.
I was having a long bout with suicidal ideation and still am not sure, exactly, why. But I think mine was a particular stressor in my life at that time. I've been addressing that stressor and think it has helped a lot. But...I could be wrong about the stressor. It could have been a multitude of things. I was blaming it possibly on my current medication(s). But I've ruled that out now, because I'm not sitting here thinking every day..."I wish I just wasn't here." While wishing that though, I didn't have a plan to complete it. If you are having suicidal thoughts and have a plan of action, you need to stop! And get help from someone to get through it. I found this about suicidal ideation. Quote:
I found the following a good read, maybe you will too. If you are thinking about suicide, read this first.

Well, thinking about your life ending and how it would relieve your pain is one thing. "I'd feel so better if I just weren't here." "Life would be so much easier if I didn't wake up."
Another thing is to think, "I can't do this anymore. I have a gun and I'm going to drive out to a wooded area on Friday night and shoot myself in the head." ((Cybil))

Passive suicidal ideation is the wish for oneself to die, without active plans to facilitate the process.
It can be chronic. My persistent thoughts must have lasted close to a year. But they were, again, without any plan. Just kept thinking, "God, it would be easier not to be alive." And then sigh, and move on to the next day.
