I won't go in to the details, but what i can say is that i don't feel anything anymore emotionally. I guess its depression of some sort. But that in and of itself does not bother me. What bothers me is that every night i go and stand on the edge of my window in my apartment complex, ready to jump. I feel a strange compulsion to do it, even though i do not want to die. This strange urge makes me restless and holds me awake all night. I go up to the the window 2-3 times at night ready to jump. What can i do to stop this?

    Next time you want to go stand by the window make a phone call instead.

    I also feel compelled to jump when I'm standing on a ledge of something high but I know it has nothing to do with a mental disorder or wanting tk off myself.
    It sounds to me like you like the thrill of standing on edges and that's what your problem is.
    I can understand feeling compelled to jump but not compelled to seek it out.
    Damn ledges, you scary.

    If it depression then you feel emotion. Psychosis is the opposite.

    As for it being normal...well, it is and it's not. People with depression experience this more frequently than people without it, but you should seriously seek help. If you do not get help it may damage your mental health permanently or for a very long time at least.

    i have obsessive compulsive disorder, and these kinds of urges have been a problem for me in the past too. is it normal? no. is it anything to be ashamed of? absolutely not.

    my advice would definitely be to see a social worker and/or psychiatrist. talk therapy and anti-anxiety meds can help a lot.
