Today I woke up like normal, tired of waking up period, drove my daughter to school then back to the house. I watched a movie to help kill time. but as the day progreessed so far I am fantasizing about hurting someone or something. I don't know where this is coming from. I though of strangling my dog just then she helplessly jumped in my lap for love. Not that I would ever hurt someone or something it is scary to have these thoughts....

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps.

Meh sry i've had them and have little in the aide of flushing them out :( sorries
I would say that if you can put them to the back of your mind or distract yourself from them then its a good idea... if they are strong tho I would definetly advise a call to your shrink.. it was a totally scary experience for me
I would consider talking to your Psychiatrist though, if it's alarming you this much it's worth just getting a once over.
If you think it is out of control contact your pdoc to see if you can meet with them.

I sometimes go through spells where I think of doing truly horrendous things -- hurting babies, animals, all kinds of shit that I'd never do!!! I don't enjoy those thoughts, when I get them, but if I stop and ask myself if I would really do whatever it is I am thinking, the answer is no. So I have learned to not be alarmed by the thoughts.
I'm sorry that you're being troubled by such thoughts. Tell your Pdoc about it and see if there's something that will help!!!
I hope the thoughts leave you soon!!! (((((Hugs)))))
( You have to say that with a pacey Groucho Marx voice )
In my case, the issue is not so much trying to stop the thoughts (Idon't think that this is possible) but minimising the impact that they have on my life.
