In my arms And say this is wat he would look like if he was dead ( GOD FORBID) ... I have this weird fixation with dead things..
Look up "invasive thoughts." They're normal. They only become abnormal when you start to feel the urge to carry them out.
that is so wrong. i would do anything to have a son (miscarried) and you visualize your son dead in your arms??? omg im not judging you but this seriously made me ill when i read it.
Don't want to say every parent thinks that..but I remember thinking something like that when my son was a baby. Totally freaked me out too...but as long as you don't really want your baby dead and getting pleasure at the thought of it. I would think your not crazy...u may also want to talk too a doctor to see if u have slight case of post partum depression.
ive thought stuff like that, at least you would never want that to happen in real life. you cant help what you think!
1. I never said it brings me joy.
2. As I stated I said it's a fasination with the thought of death . Not that I wanna harm him or some carzyness that u fools think.
Its very odd sounding saying you envision your kid dead.. but most parents over-worry about their children. I had a cat that I cared about quite a bit just disappear one day when I was younger, and now if I go for like a day without seeing them both of the ones I have now I will usually panic and search the house for them.
Long story short I can't imagine what its like having to worry about a kid. I think it isn't normal, but is understandable.
I wouldn't say that it's normal, but I don't think you're pathological fir doing so. I did the same thing sporadically with my sons. I thought it was more along the lines of exploring my deepest fear which is that something bad would happen to one of them.
I agree. I have had similar but fleeting thoughts which I would describe in the same way that you have--"exploring my deepest fear". I say the original poster is doing just this. However, he/she does it repeatedly due to his/her fixation on death and dead things. I wouldn't call this dangerous although I can't call it completely normal even though:
1. exploring your deepest fear seems normal
&
2. a fixation on death seems normal.
Somehow, the combination of the two doesn't seem normal. Well, I'm just confusing myself now. Crap.
That is not normal. Some people have fears about stuff and visual things happening but that doesn't sound like the case with you. If this visualization brings your joy you should seek help asap.
