Is it normal to think of terrible way to be tortured?

I don't even want them to happen I think of slashing my eyes with a knife, stabbing a needle through my penis, having screws nailed in my guts, ripped open while alive. It sucks cause they just pop up and I can't get them out. I can almost feel what it would really feel like. I hate it but I need to know if other people have these thoughts :/

    I used to think about cutting my fingers off with scissor-like objects. I never would have done it, of course, but bizarrely, I thought about it happening quite often and wondered if I would ever be crazy enough to do it. I think that strange thought stayed with me for about ten years. It went away though and now the only time I think about it is when I'm pruning my trees in my backyard.

    There could be something wrong with you, or you could be like me and just have an over-active imagination that likes to sometimes experiment with taboo thoughts.

      Maybe but it just seems weird that I would think that and dispite cringing to the thought of it I keep thinking about it

    It's happened to me before. You could be under a lot of stress or anxiety. Go see a professional if it interferes with your life.

      Why would stress do this. I don't want this. I don't want to talk to anyone about this. I'm so fucked up I'll probably go to a mental hospital

        maybe you have OCD. and you dont have to tell them what you think about just that you can't stop thinking disturbing thoughts.

            No you won't. I know what you mean though. Sometimes I'll be driving I'll think about crashing my car into oncoming traffic it feels like I'm on the edge of doing it. A while back I kept thinking I was going to kill my dog, stab her to death..for no reason really and I couldn't stop thinking about it I felt like I was going to really do it and not realize it.
