Am i day dreaming or having some kind of delusion?

Hi all, in need of some advice.

Lately I've been having very short but vivid day dreams, it's only happened a couple of times but when they do it scares me to think that I could imagine myself doing such a thing.

I wont go into too much detail but basically they're all surrounding causing pain or very possibly death to someone (or something) and not knowing what to do after. When I snap out of it it's like everything back to normal but I feel guilty about it because I don't really want to hurt anyone and very often the subject of the day dream will be someone I care about deeply. I don't know what to do!

I've recently moved back to my parents house leaving my partner behind to finish his work and started a new job so it's been pretty stressful but I've been taking the advice that a doctor gave me about my anxiety which was basically keep calm and carry on (and no I'm not on any medication so I know it's not any kind of side effect).

Anyway, before I go wasting a doctors time, I just wonna know, do other people have these? Is it fairly normal but nobody talks about it? Let me know in poll please, thank you everyone!

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

  • Today at work I imagined everybody else in the office turning into fantasy character versions of themselves (knights, orcs, elves, wizards, etc) and getting into a huge epic battle

  • Just sounds like you spend too much time pondering intrusive thoughts. You're normal.
