I have random violent thoughts that I obviously never act on. I'm not a violent person. I'm a pacifist, and I won't hit people even if they hit me. But, at the same time, I have horribly violent thoughts, sometimes random, sometimes triggered by something. They don't always have some kind of purpose. At the moment, I'm imagining how unpleasant it'd be if I cut off my toes with a pair of scissors. Would I do that? Hell no! But my mind is just chock full of unpleasant thoughts.
Is it normal to have such violent, random thoughts?

Is It Normal?

    Normal, the mind likes to walk itself without a lead sometimes.

    Have you spoken with a mental health professional? You sound very tormented. Is there something, or someone who instigating you perhaps?

      Well I have depression and anxiety (medicated for the depression.) I have a lot of torment going on, but I'm fine. Think of that dog in the house on fire meme. That's me. I've been to a therapist and whatnot, and I stopped going after a year because now I'm in a significantly better place. Eeexcept for these thoughts, but a lot of people have those "oh what if I threw my phone in a lake" or "what if I jump off this high space" thoughts. Mine are just more detailed, I guess.

        Well, I'm glad that you've gotten some help. Yeah, I think that a lot of people get invasive thoughts, and that it tends to happen with people who have OCD.
