If someone wasn't depressed, what's a logical reason that they would randomly think to hurt themselves in everyday situations? For example this person gets a compulsion to take a specific amount of pills when seeing the med cabinet when washing their hands in the bathroom or wanting to run the car into a brigde when driving down the highway going to the store or work.

We can't diagnose here but you might want to read up on Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

It's certainly something that can be discussed with your family physician.

Your kind of Intrusive thoughts come from anger towards one self and low self worth. Therapy can help with this, and the depression that comes with them.
