Is it normal that i pretend to kill myself to myself

like deep inside, I know I'm not really going to kill myself, but I pretend to, like Ikind of act it out. so I get in the bathtub with all my clothes on, turn hot water on, take some Advil pills so that the blood wont clot so easily, then I take a blade and run it over my arm over the veins, vertically the way you're supposed to, just not hard enough to actually break a vein. after i think im bleeding enough i just sit back and close my eyes and pretend I'm leaving the world behind. (I know Im not but I pretend) This is really enjoyable for me for some reason and I was wondering if this is normal or if anyone else is like this. I cant be trying to manipulate other ppl or trying to get attention cuz I never told anyone what I do

    Havn't you ever heard of tv or video games? Books??? I mean you obviously have the internet so there is a whole world of things to do online...you seriously need to get with some new hobies! If you are old enough---GET A JOB! go shopping, SOMETHING!

    Suicide and being suicidal is normal suppose considering it has been around for quite some time...but your behavior is not normal. If you do not want lose your life, which is precious whether you like it or not, don't do these things that will jeopardize it. You may think that you know what your doing but, damn your setting up for a lot of things to go wrong!

    No matter how crappy life gets, nothing is worth risking losing your life over it. People who commi suicide are so fucking selfish. They think nothing is going right in life for them and like a brat they go and take their own life. Well, even thought you probubly think ust cuz some dumbass guy broke up with you or that your friends are being bitches or your weird and people at school think your strange, there are people that do love you! Like, probubly YOUR MOM. Next time your in the bath tub oozing out blood, close your eyes and pciture your mom having to plan out your funeral. A mother shouldn't have to see her child die, its the other way around.

    Anyways, isitnormal.com is not really the place you should be trying to get help. What you really need is therapy!

    Seriously, please get yourself some help, because you really shouldn't be doing this for un i your spare time. Get a Wii, atleast.

    You're probably just severely depressed.

    That's more like self harm than suicide, it's addictive...

    I think it's odd... I never thought suicide would b something someone would want to simulate.

    This is definitley a situation that involves a counselor or therapist. Even if you act it out, it still can be deadly later.

    I don't think you are okay. Of course, I don't know you at all, but see, this sounds like trouble to me. Although you do swear you are not suicidal, maybe you should talk to a therapist that can understand you. If you are still in school, this is absolutely free. If you have insurance (in Canada anyway) this is also free. Please try to understand for yourself why you are doing this.

    I know how it feels at times, I sometimes feel same when I'm depressed, but I don't usually cut myself, instead I just hold on to a pillow as I cry and try to suffocate myself. The only thing is, that state of mind can someday take over your life. The slightest pain you feel, might trigger something from within. You might just find yourself doing it for real. I've been through that state. Try to cheer up a little. Wear a smile, if it can help you cover the pain you feel and make your life more fun and meaningful.

    I've not done that, no. I have sat on the floor with a cord around my neck, but quickly removed it just in case.

    A couple of days ago, I'd been having a hard time sleeping, so one night, I looked up ways to go and imagining how it would be settled my mind enough for me to sleep peacefully. I guess just forgetting everything for a while is comforting to you.

    Why do you do it? Do you want to die? Please be careful, because one day, the blade could slip and if that happens, it won't be all that enjoyable anymore and please talk to someone if you're depressed.
