Chat tonight gave me some interesting things to think about...

I once heard that everyone likes to fantasize about their own demise... but if that were the case, wouldn't everyone be bordering along mental distress? If so, why does everyone psychopathologize thoughts regarding suicide if they are in fact, quite common?

Also, what constitutes having suidical ideations vs. thoughts about suicide? Or are they the same thing?

I hope this doesn't go against forum rules as I'm not currently suicidal, just asking some questions. I'll put a trigger just in case.

Thanks
Jacq
