You're not the only one to have thoughts, that are unwanted and out of character for you.
For some people it can be a problem that they start to obsess about such thoughts which can help to make the thought more frequent and worse. A problem of purely obsessional obsessive-compulsive disorder, or POCD.
Why the thoughts first started to appear may be a separate question, but giving them too much attention, especially in a distressed way, can make them reoccur.
So don't worry about. Brains sure can come up with a lot of stuff, and you're not responsible for every thought yours can come up with.
I have violent and upsetting thoughts.
