Nope not at all...You are aware of them and besides all that whatever you say to the pdoc is confidental...you wont hurt your kids honey the fact that you are worried about is proof that they are thoughts that concern you...

No. I had told my pdoc about my thoughts and after answering a few questions he was satisfied that I would not act on those thoughts so no need to panic or call the cops.

no...they would only call if they actually think you would do something, and if you are having thoughts that you aren't going to act on, they can usually tell the difference. Especially if you tell the doc they are just thoughts.

I don't even know if i should call them thoughts. They are more like images that flash before my eyes. Do you consider those thoughts?

do they sort of just pop into your head and you don't know where they came from?

sort of. They just come out of no where. I would never even think of harming the kids. They are the reason that I'm alive today.

they sound a little like uncontrolled thoughts-they are coming out of nowhere and you didn't think them out or want them to flash before your eyes, they just do.
if they are really bothersome, telling your doc can help...the same thing happens to me when i have high anxiety, and i always think, where on earth did that come from?

i would talk with pdoc especially if this is new for you just simply may need a med adjustment!

Has anything bad happened to you, traumatic, that you're still recovering from? Just a thought...cuz sometimes I imagine things happening and they flash before my inner eyes, and I literally feel them happening! I can feel the pain, I can see someone hurt that I hurt...even tho I haven't hurt anyone. I was told by my doc that that is a symptom of Post Traumatic STress disorder, which I have, in addition to bipolar. Just wondering if maybe that is what you have as well...of course I'm not a doc, just wondering. What my doc tells me is...if I think I am REALLY gonna hurt someone or myself...to call a crisis line.

I wouldn't be overly concerned about it cuz you know you'll never hurt anyone, your'e just aware that you have thoughts is all.

Ever try writing about them or meditating and praying? Prayer can help remove those thoughts sometimes. I usually just ttell my husband I have those thoughts...talking about them makes them less huge and scary. I don't think your pdoc would admit you, personally. Just my two cents.

I get them too... they just pop in and then I suffer from the guilt of feeling them (or seeing them) I do discuss it with my therapist. I keep nothing from him. The fact that you are aware of them is a step to end them.

There is actually a word or two for this. It is called intrusive thoughts. Beepers have these, I think, and OCD'ers have them.

For OCD'ers the typical thoughts run from incest, to screwing everyone under the sun.

They also run along religious lines with what people perceive as sinful thoughts.

They also have hurtful thoughts where you want to hurt your family, yet can't stop from thinking these thoughts.
