Is it normal to want to commit suicide?

I want to kill myself but not because I am sad. I actually made a promise to myself that I would only kill myself if I was totally happy with life. I want to do it because I feel like I am suppose to. I think God told me it was okay. I feel that something is waiting for me. Something big! Something I can't explain. I know there is an afterlife. I've seen some of it. I just don't know how it's going to be. It may be super fun and amazing, it might be just as hard as life here on Earth or it might be kind of sucky. All I know is that it is waiting for me and I'm going to have to go eventually and the journey is going to be long. If I kill myself now, I can start or I can put it off. Is this normal?

    No. And I like to think I know a thing or two about God, and I just don't think he would want that. I know I wouldn't. If you believe in God you must believe you were made for earth, so take in what is beautiful about this world, take in everything you can get because it likely only happens once. Maybe heaven or wherever will be great, maybe not, but nothing will ever be like earth again. Besides, heaven can wait can't it? You've got plenty of time. I really hope you will choose to stay a bit longer.

    Don't do it! That voice you're hearing, it's not God.

    WHY THE FUCK would you want to die if you're happy with your life? There's other people living in terrible conditions, in war zones, or have a deadly disease, and they still choose to live! Wow how can some people be so ungrateful?

      It's kind of like that Bible story of that guy (I'm not really well read on the Bible) who was going to kill his son because God or someone told him to. It's like "why kill the kid if he did nothing wrong?'. Because you're suppose to.

    Would be pretty stupid to kill yourself. I mean, if you'd suffer and there would be no other way out I guess I can understand, but being happy should be a reason to just want to live on, continue being happy. Killing yourself would definately end that happiness.

    You say you believe in afterlife. That's fine of course, but that afterlife will still be there one day when you're old and grey and the current life has nothing more to offer for you. And even then you don't have to kill yourself, death will come to you naturally in the end. But it's not that far yet. First, just enjoy everything this life has to offer. Afterlife can wait.

    I'm totally pro right to die (RTD)
    but this is really a weird motive.
    For me it's a purely hedonistic equation e.g. If you have more pain than pleasure in life it's not worth to carry on.

    We're all going to die eventually. Why rush it?
    I think you may be delusional as well.
    You sure are not going to accomplish any meaning to life if your dead.
    One of my closest friends commited suicide. Suicide often becomes contagious to others and nothing good comes from it. Enjoy what little time you have here and don't make it less than it already is.
