Is this normal? If not what could be wrong with me? Is this something that could get me sent to a psychiatric hospital? I want help, but I don't want to say something crazy and end up institutionalized.
Judging from the name you chose and what you are saying, I would guess you have been at the hands of an abuser at one time (even if the abuse was emotional or psychological I still refer to it as "hands"). Abuse causes those kinds of conflicts, so yes, it is normal, and no, you will not be hospitalized for that alone.
