Ooh, I sometimes have thoughts like that, with stabbing or getting shot. It happens more often when I make up stories or am writing a scene that involves a specific kind of pain. Getting stabbed would be one of them So I mainly "wish" to experience those only to be able to describe the feeling accurately.
It's another story with intrusive thoughts, like when I walk alone and it's dark and I suddenly think "what if somebody came and abducted me/tried to rape me/wanted to rob me" etc. Then I get paranoid but try to divert my thoughts elsewhere, like what I'm going to do/eat when I get home. Safely

One time back when my sister was living here in Warsaw with her then boyfriend, right as she was opening the building door she got a rope around her neck and somebody tried to rob her. I can't remember how she got away, but she was okay. Well, physically, she was still traumatized for a while and needed her man to come get her when she was coming home alone after dark

Exactly! Haha XD

I have self-harm intrusive thoughts when I'm having bad days depression-wise. Like for example I'm waiting for the green light at an intersection and when cars are going by my brain can suddenly go "run in that car's way, maybe it goes fast enough to kill you" and sometimes that goes on to "nah, a car might just broke a few bones, better run in front of a bus, that should do it"... I used to freeze in place while having these kinds of thoughts but now I've taught myself to take a few steps back in case my body decided to react. Other times I might wonder would it kill me if I stabbed my forehead with an open pen, like really hard. Or thoughts about banging my head on the wall until I bleed. I always try to remind myself that I don't really want to feel that pain or die, that I have much to live for, to accomplish, to fulfill my dreams and such. And if I suddenly died that there are people who'd miss me and would suffer.

Lol XD

Thank you QuQ I reallylike yours, too

Ikr? Makes you question your sanity Or at least keeps you wonndering if such thoughts are natural for other people as well.
From my research that consists literally from just talking to Ash and asking him directly, it seems I'm a little cray-cray

Moi wrote:Yeah, I thought they were abnormal but a psychology friend told me that a lot of people get intrusive thoughts if not all people.
So I felt a little less worried xD

The question is how much of them is normal though Like jacob's thought's come from OCD, then I'd assume that's abnormal in her case. Maybe it's similar for people with mental issues? Dog knows I have those XD

@jacob: That sounds stressful, I'm glad you're working on it and it's getting better

Ikr?!

Maybe periods are just training for birth XD Hopefully it'll be the same for you!
How are you feeling btw? Are the cramps still happening?
