*Please Note: I love my life and have no intention of killing myself*
Whenever I'm holding a knife, I sometimes feel like I could just plunge it into my chest. I wonder what it would feel like, if I would die right then, if my life would flash before my eyes. Also when I'm standing on a high rooftop I always feel like I could just jump. Be done with it. Be done with life. End it all. Go to the otherside. I don't know if these thoughts are harmfull (mind you, I never consider the option of ever doing these things, I just feel like I could and I wonder) so if you could tell me your thoughts that would be great. :p Also does anyone else have these thoughts? IIN?

    I get the same feeling. Every time I pick up a knife, I always imagine going psycho with it and either stabbing myself or the people around me. It's a pretty unsettling thought and I'm glad I don't act on it.

    I went on a cruise once and my room had a balcony. In the dead of night I went on the balcony and looked around and below me. Pitch black sky, barely discernible from the black sea. How easy it would've been to just hurl myself over the railing! No one would've heard my cries for help and I would've been abandoned there in the ocean, left to my peril. It's frightening - a few feet of railing barring me from a very, very real and close death.

      Thats EXACTLY the words I was looking for! " I had the power to end my life." Thats the feeling! It's strange to think about, eh?

    @ big.z (42049): The Simpsons had an even funnier joke on this one when the dundee-type asked "You call this a knife? This is a knife!" ... Euhm That's a spoon :D

    No. When I'm holding a knife, I always feel like I'm going to drop it and it'll go thru my foot. That's happened before. Twice. And lots of close calls.

    You would not believe how common this is. The french actually have a word for that slight inkling people have to jump off a high cliff when standing at the top of it. it's called L'appel di vide...which roughly translates to "the call of the void."

    I think it's normal. If you stand on top of a cliff for example, most people will feel the urge to jump off the edge.

    I think about stabbing other people when I pick up a large knife...

    Not like I would ever do it though.
