Do you ever get random awful thoughts?

Question

IF YOU'RE TOO SENSITIVE, DON'T READ MORE (JUST IN CASE. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS CONSIDERED EXPLICIT)

For example, I can be watching tv, walking, doing whatever I'm doing and then I'll randomly think how it would be like to hit my head against the wall as hard as I can until the bone breaks. I mostly think of the sound it would make. I've gotten this thought since I was maybe around 14 or 15?

I had depression growing up I'd picture throwing myself out a moving vehicle and imagine it in detail. All kinds of things. I couldn't help it. It was daydreaming. I told a doctor when I was 18 and I was put on depression pills. They didn't help for it. I actually never wanted to die but I was sad and didn't like myself. I don't know if this is your problem. It could be nothing I'm not a doctor. But I was just explaining my story.

anyone who says "never, no!" is lying.
we all have thoughts we are not proud of, some that are even quite twisted. It is natural, and though we might not want to share them, we also know we won't act on them

Sometimes we all get thoughts like this - Important thing is to never act on them - If it ever gets too much try and find someone to talk to or failing that find a coping mechanism to get through that episode.

I always develop plans in my head as if someone were to attack me. I size people up constantly. Dude at the gym gives me a dirty look I build up 1000 different scenarios in my head hoping he would come up and try and hit me just so I can do some damage on him lol. I'm fcked up in the head. I know.

i actually read a study about that kind of stuff! i was worried i was a crazy person. like if you're driving and you get the sudden thought like "i could just drive off the street right now and hit that person on the sidewalk" or something like that. apparently it's super normal and almost everyone gets that haha good to know right?

Yes I do get random awful thoughts and I try to avoid them. Thoughts like: what if I slap this person right now? I'll be immediately sent to the mental hospital, or what if someone gets shot? That thought especially when that particular person is presenting or performing something.

Mustachekitteh · Answer

Sometimes but I also have thoughts about what it would be like to hit someone or to hurt something. I wouldn't do it but the random thoughts happened. I figured it's just the curiosity part of having adhd. :D

They're called intrusive thoughts. Everyone gets them.  "I can just throw this baby down." "I could just break their neck." "I could push this old lady."

Oddly enough, I do. It's scary and very unsettling.

EmpatheticLady · Answer

Yes, I've had the same thoughts as you. It's so weird and upsetting to think about, but I'll never act on them.

MaiNameIsSunshine · Answer

I constantly think about would happen if I just dropped things I was carrying and just let them break. Don't know why lol.

Yeah, sometimes I wonder how powerful I would feel while holding a gun against someone who sees him/herself as a powerful person. Other times I imagine i go completely insane for a few minutes, and then go back to my normal self, will I be mad or just pretending to be mad? And finally how brutal/easily I could kill someone, even random people (men, women, kids alike)

Now that I've read what I just wrote I will go on and post it anonymously. Shame on me

BlueSJ · Answer

Absolutely, most of which would get me throw in jail for sure if I acted on them. Hell I probably would get thrown in jail for plenty I have actually done.
