Or...when I am walking over a bridge and look down and have the sudden though of throwing myself over.
Or throwing myself in front of an oncoming car.
Or like last night when I was feeling really depressed, having the thought of just taking my whole bottle of meds so I wouldn't have to deal with my ****** life anymore.
Which is wierd because I am NOT suicidal, I am actually scared of dying.

Yeah, I've had the same exact type of intrusive thoughts like that as well.
Like Miguel'smom, my pdoc had to adjust my medication until the thoughts (mostly) went away. For me, this was increasing my Lamictal.
I'm also like leejosepho. Mine are out of curiosity. "What if..." this, "what if" that...
But anyway, sorry that your thoughts are scaring you. I think you should be honest and tell your pdoc. As long as you explain it like you have here, I think you'll be okay.
