Not normal: Suicidal ideation with a plan even if no desire to die needs to be evaluated asap.

No.: Entertaining self-destructive thoughts is not considered "casual mainstream thinking." under the circumstances you described, i would strongly urge you to seek professional help, while skipping the r & r, at least for now!
