do u get these?
any kind of examples?

for me i can just be minding my own business and my brain tells me to jump out a window, crash my car etc
ive also lately been having these thoughts that iv accidently ran someone or something over and not realised
iv been looking online and apparently that ^ specific one is linked to ocd :/

Yh when I'm in a car wih someone I often think what would happen if I grabbed their steering wheel and turned it into a tree or other car etc

yes when I'm walking along a cycle path near my house and a cyclist is coming in the opposite direction sometimes my brain is like YOU COULD JUST PUSH THEM INTO THE ROAD AND THEY MIGHT DIE AND NOBODY COULD STOP U but then the moment passes and i'm left there like wtf

also I have a lot of random self harm thoughts for no reason :/ similar to you jen about crashing my car but also when I'm holding a knife and things again my brain will go omg you could just stab urself and that would be it for EVER

I have this rly bad one involving razors but cant find anything about it on google so guess am alone there welp
but ye I will go through periods where its stuck in my head and I cant get it out n I just internally scream

wonder if theres treatment for it or ways of distraction

So glad I'm not the only one. I thought I was a psychopath...well I probably am but now I feel less of one! :D

I always have the driving one like you said

[Absently]

I always have that one about knocking people down and not realising and I'm dragging their poor body for ages :( I used to have other regular ones but haven't noticed having any in a long time except the car one

[x-s-x]

I've not had thoughts like these, it seems a bit scary :/ x

[scottish]

can honestly say i've never had these thoughts.

[whoeful]

i have the constant urge to open the car door when on motorways constantly every time i just sit there dying to open it, also when im just sat here my mind tells me to clean so sometimes ill be up till 2am cleaning if its at night because i cant sleep with the thought of any sort of mess

Oh ye haha I used to get that car door one so bad when I was younger. I'd just imagine opening the car door and seeing what would happen but obvs I'd never actually do it.

[thms]

i have had the self harm one before which sometimes takes me to a darker place it's horrid

n ye it can b distressing, il just be bopping to my 90 tunes happy as and ill get these thoughts i can't shake off n just ruins ur mood

[dbgtz]

I think the one I get most frequently is when I walk past someone and just think that I could push them in the road, or they could push me.

i get the car door one where i just want to open the door whilst it's moving and fall out lol, another one is that when i'm sat in class i get one that makes me want to just stand up and walk out of the class

and sometimes when i'm stood at pelican crossings i feel like walking into oncoming traffic

[whoeful]

[Martin]

I think I've just had a really weird episode of this overnight/tpday. I've literally just got out of bed (6:30pm) and all day a voice in my head has been telling me I'm not allowed to get out of bed because some kind of brain processing was going on and I had loopholes in my head that needed to be sorted out. It was extremely real. :( and now I have the flu :(
