Is it normal to imagine death of a family member

75% Normal

I guess I have a vivid imagination...but every once in awhile, I'd think, "What would it be like if my parents suddenly died in a car crash?" or "if a violent robber murdered them?" or even "if I went psychotic and killed them?".... Not just my parents, but sometimes one of my siblings.

I often imagine myself in these situations, playing out different reactions that I'd have or what I'd do. Is it normal to have these thoughts?

    I do that too sometimes but I literally skae it out of my head. I don't like thinking about things like that...I already have to suffer enough because I get terrible nightmares about it. Thinking/dreaming about that kind of stuff really makes me depressed. Besides you don't want to put things like that out in the universe because it might come back around. (preferably not though)

    I think it's normal. Sounds like your just preparing yourself for when it happens. Hopefully it won't happen anytime soon. I'd say its normal my friend.
