I get the urge to do really stupid things. Like i'm really tempted to jump off my roof, and i get tempted to drive my car into a tree, or drive on the wrong side of the road, or like jump off platforms at train stations.

I don't wanna hurt myself, i just wanna see what it'd be like :hyper:

    Worryingly, yeah, I get that. It's some kind of morbid curiosity. Although I have done the car/tree one. It was fun to an extent, which is also worrying! :nervous:

    I get it too. I tend to think of really weird things as well (that I won't mention :p).

    I get that too, I thought I was weird. Quite a lot when I'm driving home from work I think 'imagine if my wheel just turned a little bit now and I drove into that wall' or something, I have no idea why either.

    I always think of things like that. What if I was hit by that car or what if I jumped out the window. I used to think of shit like that when I was driving. Quite scary but i doubt I'd ever do it.

    Post-Freudian psycho-analysis describes the urge as Thanatos - the death wish, the traditional opposite to Eros - which represents a drive for cohension and unity against the drive for destruction and change of Thanatos.

    'After hypothesizing a number of causes (particularly the idea that we repeat traumatic events in order to master them after the fact), Freud considered the existence of a fundamental death drive that would counterbalance the tendency of beings to do only what they find pleasurable. Organisms, according to this idea, were driven to return to a pre-organic, inanimate state but they wished to do so in their own way.'

    I assumed everybody got it, until i met a group of people who didn't and i felt like the outcast in a way haha. I'm sure most people must get it in some way.

    Yes. When I walk over a bridge I want to chuck myself off, not suicidal but I just get the urge. And when I meet knew people, I often want to punch them even if I like them! Not that I ever do but it's a strange urge!
    I watched a tourettes program and apparently sufferers have the same kind of thoughts and can act them involuntary. It's also linked to OCD!
