My thinking is all screwed up right now. I have been obsessed with seeing ambulances and looking in the windshield to see if the driver looks kind. I also have thoughts about hitting trees or poles while driving. At first I didn't want anyone in the car with me, but today the thoughts were so strong while driving my kids to school, that I started to not care if they were there with me or not. How sick?

The thoughts come randomly, but they sort of have a plan attached to them. In other words, I have a thought and then I think to myself that I will do it at the next commercial break, or sometime overnight. Again, sick. I haven't hurt myself yet, but I have been putting a razor blade or a knife against my wrist and going through the motion.

I really hate this and I like it. I am so conflicted. I am feeling so much pain about this, and I feel better when I have these fantasies and go through the motions. I almost don't want to call or talk to my T about this because I want it to continue. Again, sick, sick, sick...
Im so sorry you are going through this. I know it must be so hard for you. Im kind of looking at it as an addiction. You just have to find a way to detour your thoughts when it does pop up. Try the rubberband thing on your wrist. It works well for many people in many different situations. Maybe everytime you have a bad thought you pop it hard and it can divert your attention. I really think you need to talk to someone. Hope you do tell your T. Hugs to you.
