Do you think of killing yourself often?

I can't really tell if the OP is serious or not. I hope he's not being serious - as said if you are then phone the Samaritans.
I think this is an attention seeking troll thread. I'd bet money on it being that. I think the mods should lock it as it's not going to help him if it's not a troll thread, and if it is a troll thread then it's too distasteful a thing to be making fun of.

Why is this depression if it's just random thoughts without depression behind it?
It's the same thing as wanting to hit or kill something but not actually doing it. Just those fleeting 'what if' thoughts (There's an actual name for it, but I forget what it is).
Had them too.

I've had the fleeting what if thoughts - how would it feel flying through the air. What would dying feel like - etc etc. Curiosity, I certainly have no desire to end my life or make it look like I do. I wonder what it'd feel like to travel at the speed of light into the sun.
I thought the OP might be suggesting that, however you can see from the post I quoted it's not that.

Sometimes think about how my friends/family would be if i copped it. also occasionally wonder "hmm, wonder if i could survive falling from here". But it's out of curiosity. I'd never ever actually consider doing it, even when I was pretty depressed a couple of years back. Just seems like a very selfish thing to do.
I used to, mostly while I was on the path to my full blown psychotic eppisode. Probably not the best of places to admint that. I am coming outt he other end though, and haven't had those thoughts in a long time.
If you think about it then please, please speak to someone. You might feel like no-one can help, but they can and do.

I haven't thought about how I'd do it, but I have thought about suicide quite a lot in the past. Mainly last year. It was a result of being utterly depressed. The worse you feel about yourself, the more appealing the 'easy way out' seems. The thought of just ending it used to cross my mind multiple times every day...
Having said that, I don't think I ever felt close to actually committing suicide, not by a far cry. It made me wonder just how bad a person has to feel to actually go through with it.
It taught me a thing or two about myself.

I've been depressed for over 7 years.
The best way to go would be to set off few kilos of high velocity explosive in the same room. There would be no pain and death would be instantaneous.

I'm all for self preservation; suicide has no appeal, when I think of killing its always someone else, unless the problem is terminal things can always be improved no matter how lousy they seem.

Let me tell you a story.
I was on this one IRC channel that I won't name. I have been on there for over 7 years idling, it is a political/economics topic channel. There was a torrent tracker that was not directly associated with the chan but it was the same community. The tracker had all latest docs and info etc. Well I was feeling realy depressed a few years ago and starting asking people in the chan if they ever think about suicide and how sometimes I just feel like doing it. We started discussing suicide and everyone was sharing their opinions. Well a few weeks passed and then the tracker admin posted a message saying that he had received a letter from a very popular member of the communities mother saying that he had committed suicide and that he had been very unhappy for a very long time. We find out a few months later which member of the IRC this was.
People should realy think about what they say online has real life consequences. I understand if you are depressed and feel down but talking about that on the internet can have unexpected results. As with the recent case on reddit where a specific community thought the individual was joking and started encouraging the individual do it in all sorts of ways. I do not blame naive people for saying such things, I doubt all of them would have said something like that if they new the outcome.
The point is that if you are feeling down and go on to the internet it is not difficult to find encouragement with regards to thoughts of suicide. I would be weary of it.
My opinion on suicide is that i would never let the enemy win. Life is all about the ups and downs and no matter how bad you think you have it, some else has it far worse.
