My favourite quote is 'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you'.
Life really is a roller-coaster with it's ups and downs and varying speeds. Yet no matter how hard you try to stay on an even keel, something always comes along to kick you in the teeth and remind you just how fragile life is. We are all trying to live the best we know how and to get along together. So take time to appreciate those around you and tell them how much you love them occasionally. A smile and a kind word speaks volumes.

i have no idea if i'm depressed or not. but i keep having really scary thoughts of me dying tragically. like i'm just walking down the street, and i picture myself getting hit by a car lying on the street.
i think a lot. too much actually. like one minute i'm completly happy knowing that i'm loved by people. the next i'm so scared that everybody's being fake and i'm going to get hurt by someone i love. it scares me. is this normal? i don't know why i'm having suicidal thoughts. and i hate over thinking.
should i go get depression pills? or no? and what exactly would they do for me? and where can i get them? (link)

I think we are all very much aware of how mortal we all are. It is not uncommon to picture ourselves leaving behind those we love whether it be through our own doing or because of an accident..
Self doubt plays a big part in those thoughts and it helps to remind ourselves about who and what we would leave behind if we did commit suicide.
I believe it is normal to think that killing oneself is the easy answer, but unfortunately it is not.
From what you say I don't think you sound depressed or suicidal. However, if your thoughts do darken and you feel that you need help, please see your doctor. They will be able to talk you through your feelings and will know whether you need medication or counselling.
Medication will help you feel more relaxed and chilled out, and counselling will help you explore your inner feelings and help identify and deal with them effectively.
I hope this helps. Take care.
