Is it normal to have such morbid thoughts?

60% Normal
6 Comments

I have a habit of thinking really morbid thoughts, especially when I'm bored. I'll think of killing or torturing someone. Or maybe myself being brutally murdered, slowly and painfully. Sometimes I'll be cut up (or what ever else I think up) to the point of being unrecognizable, yet live.

The bad thing about this is that, unless there are others around, or unless it's about someone I know, I don't try to stop them, because I can't suddenly start hurting someone who's not real. I almost ENJOY the thoughts, and that scares me, because I've never been able to completely stop myself from doing something stupid when I'm angry.

Please help.

    The mass media is largely responsible for this. We are sometimes continuously bombarded with these types of behaviours. You might want to consider limiting your personal exposure to this.

    Your second paragraph is somewhat incoherent. Please consider carefully any legal repercussions to your actions. With that said, it is not necessarily Unethical to kill another person or life form. We are all complicit in this at this very moment, whether you realize this or not.

    What do you mean by starting to hurt someone who's not real?

    Turns out (thanks for only two of you people taking me seriously) I have OCD. Posting this here so maybe others with the same problems will get help.
    I only found out after struggling with depression for a really long time.
    Short lecture: People on this site should be more supportive. We are all here because of insecurities and the like. For people to mention me going "serial killer" and such only reenforced my Obsessions that I was going to go crazy and kill people. Getting called emo certainly didn't help me, either. Those were the only two comments that really hurt me.
    As I now know, I COULDN'T stop thinking violently. I was also thinking sexual thoughts as well, but at the time, I didn't understand it was connected,
    Rant done.

    Maybe see someone about that before you start going serial killer.

    Don't worry, its normal unless you plan to actually act on them. You aren't harming anyone. I tend to have them throughout the day when in public, because of my general hatred of alot of people I come into contact with. The only thing stopping me is keeping a clean criminal record for various reasons and the idea of prison. So its fine to indulge in some morbid thoughts, like when you're trying to enjoy an R rated film, and feel like brutally ending the screeching Mistake and its parent(s) behind you and your date at the movies (happend to me the other day). Just don't act on it :)

    Stop thinking so violently.
    When I'm bored, I think of shagging someones brains out, drinking a bottle of wine, cuddling my kitties, eating chocolate, going on holiday and laying on the beach etc.
    Lighten up a little. Life is too short.

    Listening to your boring emo problems takes me through a similar thought process.
