Tap for spoiler

First, I apologize if this is too heavy of a question, so I will delete upon request. However, a thought came to me recently...

Isn't it normal for people to occasionally have suicidal thoughts and/or thoughts of self harm?

I mean, think of it this way ...every human being gets sad now and then, right? So it seems like this would be a normal effect from it. We pathologize things like this, but I'm wondering if it's just common to the human experience.

I know it sounds like an incredibly stupid question, but that's why I'm posting it here.

Before you get concerned, no I am not going to harm myself. I have a lot of really good days too and have recently seen a psychiatrist to ask some questions. I'm in a very good mood right now. So all is good here. Just had this one question. Because I realized that I've always been kind of that way when I'm in a really bad mood is all!

Thanks!

Given how concerned my therapist was when the topic came up.. probably not super normal?

It is interesting tho, cause I used to think the same thing :3
