Fantasizing about death?

This has gotten more common for me which is a bit scary. I'm almost too comfortable with the idea of it. I'm not actively persuing suicide by any means, but it just doesn't seem so bad. I even sort of have the scenario down. I also think it'd just be peaceful and I also find it interesting that there's supposed to be this big release of endorphins and adrenaline with this dream like state which could last a considerable amount of time. Could essentially be "after life."

I'm sort of hesitant to post this because I don't want to promote this type of thinking, or negatively get it on people's minds, but I'm just sort of wondering what is normal to think about and what isn't concerning this?

consider this if your soo comfortable with idea of death,wouldnt you be brave enough to seek for help then ?there are many ways to get help from people meds and etc,and when you would get better this idea would seem to rediculous.

I think it would be normal to think of how it could happen, and the life after. I dont think you should fantasize about how the perfect death would be given to you by yourself. I think death should just happen. I am somewhat on the fences of whether I am right or wrong in thinking I would like to fly off a motorcycle going 110+mph. I think my fantasy is a little better than say taking pills or cutting yourself because in my fantasy I am trying to prevent the crash/death from happening, but if it happens it happens.

If it doesn't bother you, then its not a problem. I wouldnt worry about it. Death doesnt seem like a bad thing to me either. Its more fear of the unknown and cultural "taboo" that makes it a bad thing. I think death is harder for the people who are left behind, than it is for the people that die.
Some famous philosophers even argued that suicide wasnt a sin or bad thing. Hume maybe? like you said, im not advocating it either.

wheres the rush ??? we are all on the train going one way,and few points theres no afterlife,and suicide is bad because you leave a mess behind you for others to suffer.

I actually consider the idea in case everything else fails and i run out of solutions.. It's some sort of "Plan Z".

When I feel low I often day dream about dieing in one way or another. Not so much suicide, but more along the lines of a noble death.

I hope this doesn't offend anyone, but sometimes I wish I could take someone's terminal illness, curing them of it by transferring it to myself. It seems unfair that people who really want to live are struck down with things like cancer, when there's me who really doesn't value life at all...
 
I Fantasize about death all the time. I don't think it is healthy for me to do this though. I think a person would only do this, if they thought that anything could be better than the life they are living now.
And was in a state of mind where they thought any improvement is seeming more hopeless than ever; which is happening quite often for me lately.

I've pictured my suicide in my mind countless times, I haven't done anything "suicidal" but it's in my mind everyday, I don't think it's weird and I'm not freaking out because of it but I do think it's bad and I should be concerned about it, most of time I'm not. Because when I want to die, I just want to die.

Thoughts about suicide was the thing that woke me up and got me looking for professional help. I'm happily getting help for a hour every week for SAD and depression.
