Is it normal to have the urge to kill my pet fish?
I'm really afraid of myself sometimes.
My fish wouldn't get along with the other fish in the tank. (Both females) I tried assimilating them, but the one would still chew the other's tail off. So occasionally I would get so frustrated that I would take the bully out of the tank and throw her against the wall. She survived, but about one week later I found that she had actually killed the other fish. That was the last straw. I took her out of the tank and I put her in a glass filled with water. I thought about drowning her in vodka, but I didn't think it would be painful enough. So I held a lighter underneath the glass until she died. I've never had this urge against other people... only animals. I don't know if it's an urge to kill, or just an urge to over power... help me, please. I'm not a troll, I want to know if I should get professional help. I don't think I could tell this to a therapist though...
