Do healthy people experience suicidal thoughts?

I have n.c.
I am aware I am depressed, but it is situational as opposed to chemical Imbalance, if you get me?
Everyday I have suicidal thoughts, how I would do it, what would be the impact, I relay scenarios in my head such as the kids will be fine eventually etc.
I know this isn't true, i have no intention of ever acting on it, but I suppose I am trying to get an idea of how bad this is. I often wake up wishing I didn't, I function okay, but I am deeply unhappy and I just don't see it ever getting better. I think life is just bad for some people and that includes me.
However that being said I would never act on it because my logical brain knows how hurt my children would be and I am really really trying hard not to fuck them up and destroy there lives.
Not entirely sure what I hope to gain from this post,maybe someone has been through similar.

Hello OP, we are really sorry to hear you are feeling this way. Flowers

We hope you don't mind, but when these threads are flagged up to us we usually add a link to our Mental Health resources. You can also go to the Samaritans website or email them on [email protected].

Support from other Mumsnetters is great and we really hope you will be able to take some comfort from your fellow posters, but as other MNers will tell you, it's really a good idea to seek RL help and support as well.

We also like to remind everyone that, although we're awed daily by the astonishing support our members give each other through life's trickier twists and turns, we'd always caution anyone never to give more of themselves to another poster, emotionally or financially, than they can afford to spare.

We are going to move this thread to the Mental Health section shortly.
