Are Suicidal Thoughts Normal?
I haven't made an actual plan or anything for years, but every day, it seems, i have a mental vision of me offing myself. Is this normal? I'm under so much stress and just want to cry. I have a goof job, my own place, a new car, and full custody of my son, but I'm still... Sad. I don't know what to do anymore. Its getting worse inside my head and im scared if I don't get help soon, I really will off myself. Something in life is missing and I have no idea what it is. Anyway, are suicidal thoughts normal? Should I be concerned or is this just a cut that will heal?

Any fantasy or imaginative thought of suicide is an immediete sign that you might not be okay. If it is consistant, you might want to get help as soon as possible- for both your safety and for your boy. It's a sign of a mental illness (usually depression, but there are dozens of other conditions too) and I'm sure you are already aware of this.
So no, one thought of suicide is a sign that you should get professional help and not normal, let alone constant ones. Please take care of yourself, and get into contact with someone who knows what they're doing. Leaving this and thinking time will heal this might have more consequences.
Remember that you aren't alone!! <3
