I think it's a normal part of living. I've thought about it but no matter what I was going through I never tried. I would feel guilty if I did try, if I hurt myself I'll be hurting my family. Plus I feel like there are people who are going through a lot more than I am that have a better reason to give up than I do. But they don't and instead they are powering through, so I draw inspiration from them. If someone can come back from being at the bottom of the barrel why the hell can't I come back from the shallow end of a kiddie pool?
Everyone is , at the core of it, in the same boat. We all are here on this earth and we live through the good times and the downright shitty and bullshit ones. Don't kid yourself into thinking "You're the only one" or "No one can understand". Humans and human emotions have been around for a long time and thankfully now we have professionals who have dedicated themselves to helping others.
Found a good post for self harm alternatives if anyone's interested:
