When i am overwhelmed or just don't exactly know how i feel or what i want to do and i am exhausted, i just don't know what to physically do with my own body and i just feel the urge to rip off my arms and legs and basically tear me apart (even tho i won't actually do it, but i think about it a lot)
Is it normal? Does something similar happen to you?
No it's not normal in the sense that most people experience this. But I too experience this (anytime I experience any large portion of emotion- especially if it's been building up for a while) and I want to break my entire left arm and hand. Vividly imagine doing it and all. It's like an obsessive thought. My best advice is to, after finding yourself thinking about it again, imagine doing something else and then do that something else thing. Feel like breaking my hand, take a breath, think about going and getting a glass of water, go and get a glass of water. Switch up what you do and recognize that your thoughts don't always define you but how you treat yourself and others does.
It's kinda normal. When I was a little kid I used to tell people that my skeleton was going to climb out of my body, because this was an inside joke that my mom and I had. My classmates didn't really seem to get it.😕
