does anyone else obsess over the thought that they are destined to become a serial killer?

Yes??

really? like i don’t even really have vivid intrusive thoughts of violence i just obsess over the thought that i feel like i WILL kill somebody someday and it’s really scary. i’m here for you! :(

We need to remind ourselves to accept the thoughts not disprove them

Yes! This is a constant for me. I never have specific thoughts about harm anymore, mine has just turned into wondering if I’m a psycho who would kill her daughter. It’s debilitating. I check every interaction I have with her. When you are just reading a book to your baby and your mind “do you want to kill her? Do you secretly want her dead?” It’s the most paralyzing experience. Thank you for posting this.

Omg, it’s so scary, I get scared I’m SpEd or something. The obsessions tell me such horrible things then they turn around and act like I’m the one that’s crazy and that I’m gonna end up in a mental institute for “my bad thoughts.”

This made me feel very comforted:)

Also, I wanted to say you are really brave:) I’ve thought about posting about this for a long time but never got up the courage to:/ Bc I really, legitimately worry sometimes that I’m going to kill someone or that I’m a sociopath. I constantly check my actions and thoughts to see “is that something a murderer or a sociopath would be doing/thinking?” Sometimes if I get angry I think “what if I lost control now or in the future and hurt them or someone else??” It’s not even that I’m thinking “I want to hurt them,” it’s “what if I become a different person or something and lose it?” It’s so scary for me and I feel like such an evil piece of trash?

Yep

thank YOU so much for sharing, that sounds terrifying. :(

Yep! It’s the same for me!!! That is EXACTLY what happens to me:( I’ve felt terrified, extremely guilty, even suicidal over it. It’s awful?
