I guess because it's so minor and rare. Doesn't stop me from being scared of it though. I actually checked myself into a hospital once because my violent thoughts were scaring me so much (it bugged me that everyone kept saying I was suicidal. I wasn't. I just "wanted" someone to beat me unconscious or run me over with a car until every bone is broken. Wow, that sounds insane when written out). It's more thoughts than anything.

It doesn't help that after I explained this to my mom (in less detail), her response was "It you wanted to hurt yourself, why didn't you just do it instead of running to the hospital like a coward and wasting everyone's time?" There's a reason I never really trusted her with my emotional issues. Who knows, maybe that's how I learned to minimize my own issues...
