Is it normal that i have intrusive thoughts of violence?

It's hard to explain, but occasionally, let's say once a month, depending on if I'm angry, or sad, it's really situational. Occasionally, I will have an intrusive thought of violence, like killing someone I'm angry at, or just going on a killing spree. It's not like "I should go on a murder rampage," more like "What would happen if I just killed him for doing that?" It's akin to thinking "Why is my mom late to pick me up, oh god, did she get into an accident" or "What if I walk in on a burglary?" Be honest, I feel like I'm instane, and I just want someone to either confirm or deny this. Thanks for your time in either case.

    There is actually such as thing as Intrusive Thoughts Disorder, and usually, isn't a big deal, but if it gets in the way of your life, then I think you can take medication, or go to therapy for it.
