Sometimes when i'm driving or at work, I start get worried that I will do something completely irrational, like purposefully crash my car into on coming traffic or attacking someone at the store. I don't really know how to describe it, but i compare it to when a horse is on the edge of a cliff, sometimes it will just jump off. Obviously i would NEVER do something like this on purpose but it's just one of those things that i do and i think about a lot. I'm perfectly sane ha but it's still just something i do.

Is It Normal?

    I have a fear of completely losing my mind and hurting other people. Sometimes I get so angry or fall into one of what I call my "dark moods" that I feel like I teeter on the brink of insanity, and I worry that one of these times something will push me over the edge and I'll wind up doing something I regret. The fact that I've been diagnosed with several mental illnesses and had to be put on psychiatric medication makes me feel like this fear is justified.

    They are not good thoughts but I think I understand your meaning. Whenever I dwell on my past mistakes or things I am frustrated about I like to think about blasting myself or walking in front of an oncoming bus.

    I suggest when you think of these things also think of all the things you haven't done yet and all of the happier things in your life. Suicide seems such a bad way to go. At least if a person does suicide themselves they should choose to do it in a situation where they have a chance of saving another person's life.
