Is it normal to feel like...

jumping when your at the edge of a train platform, or when your on the edge of a cliff or something. I am not suicidal but whenever I am near a edge of something i feel like i am about to be pushed or that I am about to walk off.

    I do that too! Like whenever I'm in the car, window rolled down, phone in lap, I feel like all of a sudden I will just throw it out the window...? And sometimes during a quiet assembly I will feel like just screaming to see what happens.

    It simply a subconscious feeling of thrill to do something dangerous. The only reason people don't follow these feelings is because you can DIE.

    I've had that feeling too, you can imagine yourself jumping, but don't jump.

    I get that feeling on edges too. No real desire to jump or fall but we are just imagining what it might be like.
    Like Rachel888, I sometimes think about saying something or screeming something inappropriate during certain events!
    I think it's normal in a way!

    I feel that way all the time! Weird and I would never actually do it but sometimes it's a pretty strong urge. I lived in an apt on the third floor with a balcony for 2 years and I always wanted to jump or throw something really hard off the edge. The night I moved out, my brother bought me a big super ball(fist sized) and I threw it as hard as I possibly could. Best feeling ever! Soo bizarre though

    I believe is your subconscious fear making you feel that way. Its pretty normal, who wouldn't feel that way around such a dangerous place. Just keep away from places like that, good luck!
