I'll tell you a thought I had when I was 19 that I've never told anyone until now... I was drinking with some friends, and I was standing behind someone on a cliff, and a quick thought popped into my head to push him off... Pretty creepy, right!? I thought it was too. And just thinking about it now gives me the creeps.

Unfortunately my life is plagued by thoughts even worse than that. Stabbing classmates in the eye with a pen, slashing peoples faces...but that's because I have ocd. I avoid large crowds because I'm afraid I will actually hurt someone. These are different though, but I appreciate all you said. I also applaud your courage for opening up to me.
