That’s a question to ask a medical professional or a psychologist. Not a bunch of strangers on the internet. That being said I feel it’s still good you’re asking the question. Suicidal ideations are not ‘normal’, but they’re not uncommon too. I had some in the past, especially when I approached the end of my drinking career. For me it was one of the reasons to go sober. And seek help for my mental health problems. I’d advise you to do the same. Wishing you all success friend.

Yes it is normal to have ideation. Ideations are thoughts helping you cope.

I’d recommend calling a suicide hotline even if you have no intention to commit the act of suicide, and please definetly call if you are thinking of ways to commit the act of suicide. They are incredibly kind and will answer some of these questions for you or lead in right direction.
