I think you should talk to your doctor. Its really a good thing that you are aware that its not normal, and keep rationalizing with yourself as much as possible. The next time it happens, get out of bed, and go do something to get your mind off it. Go take a walk, a relaxing bath, browse the web.. Anything besides laying there with those thoughts. I really think seeing a doctor would benefit you. Good luck hun!

Do you think im crazy though? or schizophrenic? Im really scared that i am... I hope im not :(

Hi hun, I agree with fibi. You should go talk to your Dr. Or talk to someone you trust. I dont think your crazy. Just keep yourself occupied and busy. That way you dont give your mind a chance to wander.
I am a hypochodriac with bad anxiety. And believe me, i have thought up some crazy stuff. But just like you, i try to talk myself out of stuff like thAt. The only difference is that I am always thinking of a disease that i may have.
Also, try just mentally relaxing. Try to steer your mind to a nice relaxing place. Drink u some tea.
I hope you feel better soon hun.

Hi , please be reasured you are not crazy or
schizophrenic, i have the exact thoughts that i am going crazy , sometimes i fear i will hurt my kids , but believe me because we fear this it will never be as we care too much. My doctor told me once that crazy or schizo people do not even know they crazy for them we might seem crazy , have you ever heard of a crazy person worring about doing something stupid. Its time you make peace with your thoughts for example i find if my thoughts get crazy i speak to them and tell them we are friends and friends never hurt each other ,and also they need me ,just as much as i need them . Are you on any medication?

Hoping and praying for your inner peace
take care

Anyone else :(

You're already taking a step in the right direction by seeking help from people going through a similiar situation (even if the worries differ to varying degrees in nature).

Seeking therapy can be beneficial. It really helps to let emotions go, and to get the professional help you need. I see a therapist with a humanistic approach -- I talk, and he listens. If I ask for advice, he gives it to me, but doesn't push me further. He'll only step in once he sees I'm desperate!

From there, if you need medicine, it's a simple matter of either seeing a psychiatrist, or going back to a good ol' general practitioner who knows you and your background in life.

You're definitely NOT crazy, and you will win this! =)

I had the same exact thought when I was in the movies! that a knife was coming up through the seat! I knew it wasnt but, I couldnt stop the feeling!! In my opinion when you have this thought DONT get out of bed that is avoidance!! stay in bed and create the thought on purpose! It will take it away!! I did this with the movie theater seat and it worked however it took a couple of movie visits that was about 15 years ago! it never came back!! and NO NO NO this is not schizophrenia! and you dont need to tell your doctor about every thought!! what you think doesnt matter its your response to it that matters!! and to keep rationalizing with your self is silly too because by you doing that you are giving the thought power!! I have talked to you before and you just have a lot of anxiety that creates these thoughts!! hang in there and never avoid!! the only thing that I think is Ok to avoid is the news when talking about violent parents or people no one needs to hear that! just dont watch it or read about it right now...use that as an exposure later on!
take care of you!! keep up the good fight!!

You my dear are definitely NOT crazy! You really need to see your doctor and get it out there and tell them EVERYTHING! I had trouble trusting people and would never tell my docs the scary images I was having or negative thoughts. If they do not know, they cannot help you. No matter what people say on these posts you will think otherwise (all part of the OCD) and try your hardest to find the answers (which there are no straight answers). There is lots of help and positivity out there for people like us! Good luck!
