It can be. Google "intrusive thoughts." Those are quite fun.

Sure, but the people in this thread are not required to do anything. Furthermore, the OP did not indicate that there was anything to do. Without something more specific, people can't just make assumptions. My issue was with the internet police. People answered a question. The OP did not say, "I am thinking of killing myself. How should I do it?"

Would be, could be valid points. Not necessarily valid to this situation. Jumping to a conclusion and then admonishing people based on that conclusion is not exactly genius.
