    I have a similar problem, For some reason I feel stronge urges to push Other people down. My sister and I were sitting on a balcony type thing and I felt the urge to push her. This happens ALL THE TIME! Are you like that except you want to push yourself off?

  • Sometimes, when hiking trails or cliff-diving by rocks, I have the urge to just jump off and land flat on my front at the bottom..

    It's nothing suicidal, I just like the feeling of having the breath knocked out of me

    I voted normal

    I constantly have this urge. It's not because of suicidal thoughts, just the fact that you're standing there and you're physically able to take control of your life and end it. It's humbling knowing that you could just end your life, and I think it makes me appreciate it all the more.

    Completely normal. If I go near an edge or am on a ski lift or something I can't help have this thought of, what if I just jump or slip a little. I am totally normal, happy, and not suicidal.

    i was listening to the radio on time and this guy called up and was talking about what your talking about here, it was a scientific segment on tripple j and anyway the host was saying that the urge to jump is like a human curiosity of the unknown and to be able to experience the thrill of what it would be like to jump and freefall. i guess thats why we have skydriving ect ect. it sounds pretty normal to me and like u said it isnt in a suicidal way.

    It's normal. There's something about it eh?I have had thoughts of my death that makes me feel curious about 'the end'. (I'm atheist)

    I've heard people discuss this and wonder about it. I think it's normal as ling as you don't see it as a suicide method. Just an ass-puckering idea.

    Depends, It's not normal to want to die, however if you were doing the jump safely, then we could understand.

    So, Im some ways then yes it is normal, but in some ways it is not normal.

    Hope this helps.
