<p>I live in virginia and west virginia so the roads here are really curvy and narrow with hairpin turns, ditches, etc, and sometimes ... sometimes I'm driving and get this twitch to suddenly jerk the steering wheel. "Just end it now sarah. make it look like an accident. no one will ever know." But then all of these memories from sunday school my mother made me attend as a child flood my mind and it sorta stops me. iono, does that happen to anyone else? do you get these bad thoughts?</p>
<p>yeah all the time that is why i started going to a therapist...you don't sound too funloving...your name is kind of deceiving</p>
<p>is driving the only time when you think about this kind of thing?</p>
<p>You should probably visit a therapist.</p>
<p>^^Is this serious? If it is, you should talk to someone (therapist?). If this is supposed to be a joke, it's not very funny.</p>
<p>I like to tell people that are ****ing me off in my car while I'm driving that if they keep it up we'll be hitting a pole any minute.</p>
<p>Well, do you want to kill yourself? It actually sounds like the thought of suicide is pretty disturbing to you, and that these thoughts are intrusive and unpleasant. Maybe see a therapist at school; you might have OCD. This is almost a textbook example of one variety of obsessions suffered by those with OCD.</p>
<p>it takes more courage to get back up and continue on with your life. think about it before doing anything that can hurt you and the people who care about you. fight on!</p>
<p>i hope ur not serious. Go get help.</p>
<p>I don't want to kill myself at all, but when I'm in some sort of position to do a good job of it (train station, driving 95 on the freeway, etc.) I'll sometimes think something to the effect of, "Hmm, I wonder what it would be like if I just stepped in front of this train..."</p>

<p>Yeah, I totally relate. From what I've read, these types of thoughts are natural and aren't really indicators of any psychological problems. Just the curiosity of the human mind.</p>
<p>If you google ego-dystonic thoughts you should find more about this. They're not normal exactly, but they are very common among those that suffer from OCD. Your reaction to the intrusive thoughts probably would make a difference in the diagnosis, as well. It probably would be a good idea to see a therapist, just in case.</p>

<p>Yeah, I have the exact same thoughts. Or sometimes when standing on a balcony I wonder what it would be like to jump. Not saying that I want to actually do it or anything, but those curious thoughts do spring up occasionally.</p>
<p>I get that too, when I'm up in a high place I feel like I should just fall over the railing...</p>
<p>that happens to me too. weird...</p>
<p>I definitely get those thoughts in high places, and sometimes when I'm driving over a bridge with water under it.</p>
<p>yeah because you realize how easy it is to just end it all</p>
<p>I'm sure it's nothing if it's just a random thought that pops in your head, but if you're thinking about it constantly, then maybe you should talk to someone about it? :/</p>

<p>Yeah, I'm on the top floor of my building for the summer, and I usually lean out of my window to enjoy the scenery/talk (yell) with people down below... It's just like, what if I let go? Hmm. </p>
<p>But yeah, that would suck, I'd actually like to live until I'm 70 or so, or at least outlive some (but not all) of my friends.</p>
<p>i have the same thoughts, but not to kill myself. but like thoughts that if i wanted to, i could do something like that right now.</p>
