Tortured by certain thoughts or images

Is it normal when I was a kid I would feel excrutiating pain when I would have certain thoughts or images, really weird. Like I would have this certain image of a heart being brushed by a broom, and I couldn't get it out of my head. I would just want to tear my hair out. Another one was an image of electricity passing between two places. Don't really have them anymore, but it was very weird and I've never heard anyone say they experienced anything similar. weird?

Is It Normal?

  • Not weird at all, it's pretty common and sounds like you might actually have a little bit of OCD.

  • I've seen pictures of babies(animals and human) that are so explosively cute and think it would be so easy for someone to hurt or kill them and then I would get the *SHIVERS*!

    Also about two and a half years ago I used to have nightmares and obsessive thoughts about little baby white mice in danger or lost somewhere that they ought not to be. In my dreams they were so über cute and oblivious to any danger and I would try to catch them but just barely miss. They weren't running away from me but just happy and barely slipping away. It always disturbs me.

  • hmmm. That's interesting. I wonder about the OCD thing. I've never tried to describe the pain before. I suppose it would be like an exponential finger nails on a chalk board like pain that I could not get away from. That would keep me from sleeping. Like super anxiety, I think. Thanks for the input
