No, it's abnormal. why end your life over a break-up?

In a word - NO.

If someone is thinking of suicide, seek help.

suicide is considered abnormal in this country.
the question to ask to prevent it is ----was there really no life b4 you met him?
get help and dont isolate until you have resolved this impulse.

Its normal to be hurt and sad after a break up, but not normal to want to kill yourself, Im glad you didnt follow thru tho
Sometimes we feel like our heart cant take it,

I don't think that's the typical feeling one has after a break-up (if you're the dumpee) but it can be devastating. In my case, while I did not have suicidal thoughts, revenge thoughts about emotionally hurting him were echoing within me. I eventually got my revenge 20 months later. On our second break-up, I was the dumper and for a short while I felt powerful.
However, those thoughts (both yours and mine) aren't helpful. Ok so we got back in the end. In your case, just move on and chill with your friends or family members. Enjoy being single for now.

I read somewhere that 3 out of every 4 people have at least thought about suicide at one time or another. I think it's more normal than some are willing to admit.

I don't think it's normal but i guess it can be painful especially if you don;t see it coming.Let me give you some advice though don't go out desperately looking for someonelse.A lot of women do this and end up feeling worse because they rush into the first guy to come along..Hangout with some of your girlfriends or family for a while and wait until you are ready and you have found the right person as well..Don't start thinking all men are the same either because you will never be able to build a healthy relationship..
