Is it normal to have vivid murderous thoughts?
I am a 21 year old college student and have been struggling to pay for my schooling. I can't get a job in this economy so lately I have been having disturbing thoughts and i think i might act upon them. I fantasize about murdering an old pawnbroker who lives in my neighborhood. He's saved all of his money in cash so if I killed him I could easily steal it. No one likes this man and he is a menace to the neighborhood he's killed three of my dogs so it's not like he will be missed. I'm worried because I think about every single detail about how I would murder him like what i would do with the body and even what I would do if the police caught me in the act. Recently he invited me into his house to help him with installing a new tv and I almost stabbed him with a screwdriver right then! I am deeply concerned about my mental state should I see a doctor or will my thoughts pass once I get a steady job?
