Is it normal that i involuntarily imagine myself getting stabbed?

13 Comments

I don't really know when it started, but occasionally (usually when I'm trying to fall asleep), I think about falling backwards onto knives sticking up from the ground that stab me in the spine, or more often scissors cutting off my body parts (eyelids, tip of my nose, nipples, etc.) Once I start thinking about it, it's REALLY hard for me to shake the images away. Is that something I should be worried about? It doesn't really affect my behavior, and I have no problem using knives/scissors.

      It's called obsessive compulsive disorder. Try budist chants.

    Although not as intense I share the same fear of bing punctured by sharp objects

    This is a phobia.

    i sometimes think involuntarily about crap i don't want to think about to, i think it's normal, it sucks that thinking certain things is so fleeting and involuntary!!!

    I'm not sure if it's normal but I do it A LOT. I often imagine getting stabbed by sword, knives, spears etc. I don't know why but I just enjoy imagining these things.

    This happens to me too, if you're not suicidal in any way it's fine. But if you are suicidal seek help, before it's too late.

    "Have you ever been stabbed?"

    "yes i have"

    "what was it like?"

    "it was the single most painful experience of my life"

    ".......what was the second most painful?"

    "have you ever fired a gun up in the air and gone arghhhhh!"

    "no i have not ever fired a gun up in the air and gone arrrrgghhh!"
