Sometimes ill sit and watch tv and suddenly ill have a random thought of killing my mom or hurting my dogs. Anyone in my house hold. Im completely fine when these thoughts occur. Im not mad, nor upset. And my family never did anything wrong to make me think such things... I would NEVER hurt anyone.. And it scared me. Sometimes i avoid certain objects i could hurt people with and i stopped watching my favorite crime shows. It all freaks me out now.. Ive asked a friend, and he has it too but not as extreme. More of a "what if" thing. He says im fine and he thinks everyone has these thoughts at one point. But i dont think thats true. I read on it and the reasons for it are endless.. It could be an ocd disorder, or the fact that i take prozac, or because of my borderline personality disorder or because i have panic attacks. I need help.. Im scared.

    If you are going to kill someone, just make sure it isn't a white person. You'd probably get away with a driveby shooting or kidnap from a ghetto, hell no-one would even notice.

    Every Human being is a monster deep down, but they all line in fear, they all mask the realities.

    Yes I have these at times, but they are a side effect from a mental disorder. See a doctor again and get some help. :)

    There not exactly normal but as long as you feel bad/guilty for having these thoughts you would most likely never act upon them. Remember they are only thoughts!

    I have thoughts like this all the time . You shouldn't worry because you control yourself . You wouldn't allow yourself to do anything bad. They are only thoughts

    I get thoughts like these like once every two weeks. Just ignore them

    Its perfectly normal to hear voices that tell you to kill your family, at least for me it is, I've been hearing those voices since I was 8 and they have only ever gotten loader the older I get.

    Yeah, it's really weird. I would never do it. Freaks me out. But it seems I'm not the only one with weird thoughts like this.

    Not THAT normal, but we all have some crazy thoughts about things. I too have already thought of doing some crazy stuff that in reality I'd NEVER do. It's one of those moments you say "Brain, WTF???". But if those thoughts are getting "deeper" you should probably take a look at that...

    No, this is not normal.. You probably should talk to someone about this urge.
