I think thoughts that are not normal

yeah I've had one of those thoughts too. Thousands, actually. Those thoughts dissolve in my head when I listen to music or watch a movie Just focus on something else, keep your head busy, read alot, sing, anything that keeps you in your own world. :)

I wouldn't worry the least bit about it. Seems like you're just a bit attached to the whole idea of things staying the way they are, especially with your family. Well, you're going to get older, along with your family, and they'll become more distant, and eventually of course everyone has to die. Picturing them doing vile things is nothing to worry about, either. It's actually a sign that you have a healthy conscience, and that your sense of right and wrong is being strongly enforced. If you had no such impulses, then there would be a problem.

Theres nothing you can do to controll your thoughts i think too much as well, all you can do is rember that thoughts and reallity are two different things

I have this problem. It's OCD :/

Omg this would always happen toe and I didn't even know it stopped until I read this. U do feel like ur trapped in your brain. You can't control it. Try this whenever you start to think that think of something else instead. Like make up a story in ur mind that is happy and won't have anything to do with those thoughts. When this would happen to me I told my mom and she said that as u grow it gets better and u can control. And just now I realized that she was right.

Look up the term " flow " as it applies to the creative process or recreational activities. I think you simply need an outlet for these thoughts that are floating around in your head. Try songwriting or creating a short story. Something to let your mind air out and refresh.

smoke reefer and mellow out

I have ocd and i get this all the time but i dont let it bother me any more.

Sometimes if i'm left alone with my thoughts too long i picture my self stabbing someone close to me completely unrovoked and pictureing the look of shock and fear on there face in great detail. At the time it will allmost bring me to teers but when its finished i go about my day confident that i could never nor would never want to do this in real life. Sometimes in life i have trouble conveying emotions and i think i do this just to get an emotianal response from my self.

My first memorys of not being able to clear unwanted thorts are when i was about six. I would visualize something, like a stick. Then i would visualize my self snapping it. Then no matter how hard i tried i could not visualize the stick unbroken. Even today once ive thort of a broken stick i cant visualize it any other way. But what i can do is, not visualize it at all. The best thing you can do is to try and ocupy your mind next time it starts to happen rather than just rolling with it.

Maybe it has to do with your testosterone..

FOCUS ON SOMETHING ELSE

While I imagine thoughts like this happen to everybody, to this extent, I think you might see a therapist/psychologist. Not that you're crazy or have a serious mental disorder, I just think they might help.

I know how you feel.

I over think everything. I can not watch horror movies because after I see where a zombie jumps out I must check there every so often to check for non-existent zombies. Its bad...

As for thinking of your family being dead and how they look like once they are dead.. That can be pretty serious.. When I think of bad thoughts I try to think of a happy memory. If your memory gets shattered because you think its different and what not then you need to think of something completely oblivious.. If it all ends up to someone dying you need help.

This is a classic symptom of obsessive compulsive disorder.

same here.
i think thoughts you cant even imagine thinking about, and once i start i can't stop.
eventually i will stop but it's hard

I get that. :( Brings me to tears.

It's the same for me T^T only difference is that I imagine them being murdered and I NEVER want to think that nor would I ever want that to happen. -- Sometimes, I can't stop thinking it and I cry. I don't know why I think those things because I seriously would never wish for anything horrible to happen to any of my family members..

We should seek counseling together :/

It's not too crazy people think of messed up things for no reason I know I do.
In my opinion if you are actually "haunted" by these thoughts and think u can't control them yourself then maybe u should seek help. But if u understand that more people think about crazy things like that then you think, well then your okay.

P.S.
I actually have thought of the first example you gave before and never really thought too much of it, other then that was so messed up n I'm not telling anyone. Not a big deal unless YOU make it so.

Go get the counseling. Its not so much that you don't think things other people do, but that you do so in a way that makes you very upset.

Honestly, I think you may have a problem. I say this NOT because you have these thoughts, but because you are tormented by them and seem out of control. It's not really about what you are thinking, it's that you find yourself unable to re-direct your thoughts and they are negatively affecting your life. You can't be diagnosed over the Internet, but consider talking to a professional about this. It's normal for us to have thoughts about things we would never admit to, but where I am concerned is how powerless you feel about what's going on in your head. It could be thoughts about say, math, and the effect would be the same. Please get some help.

Sometimes thoughts just pop up, and you can't control it. Once you start thinking about it, try to let it go, if it bothers you that much. And if you can't try to occupy yourself, and so something else for the time being. Try not to entertain the thought. I have the same kinda issue as you, and my advice should help:]

It sounds like you get fixated on certain subjects. I think its normal. I heard this happening is really normal in high functioning autistics.

I never thought that someone would have the same problem i had 2 years ago. So i knew thinking too much would lead to nowhere. I already know most ideas i made up, and these thoughts often lead to nowhere, so its totally useless to think all the time. I tried everything to relax. When i sleep i clear my mind by breathing slowly and deeply. I shower very slowly that it takes me 30-45 minutes. I also work out 1 hour a day. And i avoid speaking in my mind, or thinking aloud, and looking too much at myself in mirrors. Drinking, smoking, and partying also helps u unwind, but i dont smoke or drink alone cuz its depressing. u can't solve this problem by thinking about a solution for it, just do what i suggest u do. and psychiatrists are for wimps, dont embarrass yourself. I hope this helps

look you gotta see someone. that shows that you hhave some destubing felling deep down in side.

I used to feel kinda the same. I think it's worst case scenario thinking, it slips into your head and you can't not think about it.

What started you thinking about this stuff?

You know, there's a saying about how if someone; anyone's thoughts were projected up for everyone else to see, they would be totally ashamed. We can't control what goes on in our heads sometimes, but if it's really disturbing you, perhaps you should think about seeing a counsellor. I'm sure they've heard it all before, so you won't embarrass yourself.

Yeah... The internet isn't going to help you the way you need to or want to be helped. If you truly want to help yourself ask your doctor to refer you to a neurologist who specializes in behavior. It sounds like you MAY have intrusive thoughts. These are nothing to be embarrassed about, especially when you are talking with a professional. I hope you'll seek the real help you need.

Try setting fire to a cat. Always calms me down.
