I'm not gonna bother with punctuation because I'm using my phone., lately I've been having a lot of thoughts about killing people. it happens every night at about 4. I can't get them to stop and it makes me afraid that I'm going to act on them. I don't like the thought at least,I didn't before. I don't know if I like these thoughts and I'm too afraid to find out. earlier I had a thought about decapitation, it didn't bother me. it only bothered me because it didn't bother me. is this how serial killers think? I don't want to be one of those. this is killing me. I actually started a violent thought earlier which was alarming. I'm afraid I'm a sociopath. I don't want to spend the rest of my life I'm prison and I don't want to hurt anyone. this isn't normal. I'm screwed up in the head and my therapists don't seem to want to help. does this sound like ocd or something worse. I'm afraid that I'll start enjoying these thoughts. I need help. this isn't normal. they won't stop. I'm scared.

Those sound like they could be intrusive thoughts associated with OCD. It's nothing to worry about unless you're actually making plans to hurt anyone, and that doesn't seem to be the case. Thoughts of harm or self harm that are unwanted are part of OCD.

I can't make it go away, and feel a strong urge to cut my throat. this only happens at night. My mind often says that I could kill people if I wanted to, which scares me to death. This is so bad. during the day I'm fine. even though then it's at the back off my mind. I don't know what to do. the compulsions are scary. I'm worried that I'm gonna hurt someone

i hate to admit it but i too get impulses and thoughts such as yours. i in real life would never do anything like act out on my thoughts or whatever they are, i just am afraid i might do something i never would want to have done, it scares me to death too because its scarry. does anyone know what this is diagnosed as or the type of meds i could take? i'm worried i am going to hurt soeone too. i'll be waiting at the front door for the men in the white coats if no one knows what this is.
