Yes I think it is normal. I think everyone has intrusive thoughts at some time, it's just that some are more severe than others. I totally get where you're coming from. I've had thoughts like that for a long time where I was afraid to be around babies because I was afraid that I would hurt them. It made me feel like crap and I hated myself for it. Until I did a google search and found out that I wasn't alone. The key to making the intrusive thoughts go away is to not get anxious about them and to realize that those thoughts are not coming from you. Try and replace them with some positive thoughts or think of spongebob just busting in the room break dancing lol (I know it sounds stupid but it actually helps) And don't beat yourself up about it, because obviously YOU don't want to think these thoughts.
Is it normal to have intrusive violent thoughts when with people ?
