Is it normal to think about hurting myself but not in a suicide way?
I have these strange thoughts all the time. When I'm cooking I think about burning myself or pushing the knife into myself. When I'm on our balcony I think about throwing myself off. When I walk along the road I think about throwing myself in front of a car. I don't feel depressed or like I want to kill myself, it's more like being hyper aware of the danger that I COULD put myself in. I don't think I'm at risk of ever doing it, I just wish the thoughts would go away.
