Fallen to my darkest place yet!

I don't understand why everyone says the thought of suicide is so important! It has crossed my mind an uncountable amount of times as a child until now. NEVER will I act on it! I hardly ever think of it anymore... I just dont see what the big fuss about it is! Seriously! Is it NOT normal?? Tell me you havent thought about it at least once before! How uncommon is it? Is it not just human nature?

It depends on the type of suicidal thoughts that you have. Yes, I am sure that it has occurred to most people 'What if I weren't around anymore?', or 'People would be much better off without me.' types of things - including myself.
Those thoughts sometimes can be just what they are, but in many, many people they do develop into more serious thoughts of harming themselves. Sometimes they develop into thoughts of seriously harming others.
So some things can be 'normal' or start off normal, but some can be very serious. And a lot of the drugs that are used for anti-anxiety and anti-depression can often cause those fairly innocent thoughts to turn into something far more serious outside of your control.
Talk it over with someone, maybe choose a type of therapist who cannot prescribe meds but someone that you can just discuss things with. I understand your reluctance, because people in the medical profession are sometimes the first people to blow things way out of proportion, but there are alternatives that can be just as successful for you.
