So ,for some time now i've been thinking about death,suicide ,and everything else related to it ,but i don't want to die ,and im pretty happy with the direction my life's going ,i'd say im in a better position than ever.
And it got me thinking "Is this normal ,or is it something more serious that i don't see?" ,because i know that there are times in life when we ourselves can't see something that's obivious to others.

Is it normal to be content with your life? Yes! Is it normal to question death? Also yes! It’s good to be happy with yourself but the uncertainty and certainty of death has always made humans curious.

Suicidal thoughts can sometimes be a coping mechanism. Here's a link to an article, from PC's archives, that addresses this:

How Suicidal Thoughts Can Become a Coping Mechanism

So perhaps the thoughts you're experiencing are a sign there are things going on in your life with which you're still struggling? Perhaps it could be a symptom of anxiety. Or perhaps it's simply a habit you've fallen into over time that you can't shake? I don't know the answer to that, of course. It's something you're going to have to figure out either on your own or perhaps with the help of a counselor or mental health therapist. At least these are my thoughts with regard to your post.

Here's a link to a second article that offers suggestions for how to get rid of stuck thoughts:

9 Ways to Let Go of Stuck Thoughts

As a survivor of 2 quite serious attempts, your post concerns me. Recurring thoughts of S likely fall outside the realm of what avg folks normally experience. Maybe u shld talk to someone.

Hugs.

I don't think its anxiety ,since i've been feeling good and healthy for about 2 weeks now.And i took a look at the links and i can say that it isnt a stuck thought since im thinking of it out of curiosity rather than out of any negative thought.

I'm a bit less than a month away from turning the same age as my father when he died. He died young, from just bad luck. The doctor told me years ago that there could be no correlation between his death and mine. Still, my fears have really shot up lately because of this approaching milestone. Every ache or pain is the thing that's going to be my end. Terrible, terrible fear about this. I can find small bits of respite when I take my dogs for a walk or watch TV, but it makes for a pretty lousy day.

It's not the dying that I'm afraid of. Sometimes I'd even welcome it. More it's not being able to be with my pups on their final days. I would feel terrible leaving them behind for strangers to be with them. My brother said he'd take them, but he's pretty flaky with me so I'm not sure I trust that he will. My pups are 8 and 9 so getting up there. I just want to be there for them and just need a few more years.


Anyway, I too am fearing death a lot lately but don't want to die just yet.
