Hi-
As I was driving on the highway today I got a sudden urge to drive off of the road.
And hopefully d i e.

Has anyone else felt this way?

[jpny]

Sadly enough I have too. But just because I have thoughts of hurting myself...I defiantly don't want to hurt anyone else. I maybe self destructive to myself, but the thought of hurting anyone else is just too much to take. That's what gets me from A to B. No matter where you go or how you get there, know that there is someone who wants you to get there safely!!

I always get the urge to jump out of a moving vehicle. Ever since I was a kid. Some days are harder to resist than others.

[Inedible]

Sure. Usually it's more about getting to the turn in the road and just going straight instead. It isn't quite the same as actively choosing to go off the road, as doing it passively.

I get the same feeling. I have for a long time. There were a few times I nearly acted on it.

Yep this happens all the time. For me they are compulsions. I dont always actually want to do it (sometimes I do) but the urge to do it washes over me all the same. I dismiss the thought with "this is just a compulsion" and always arrive safely at my destination.

Yes, I used to live in a heavily wooded area. I used to drive down winding roads with my eyes closed...just to see if I would die. I got pretty good at counting the curves. Then off to another road.

Sounds like intrusive thoughts. My brain constantly has me considering jumping from heights to see what would happen even if I have no want to do it. It's awful.

i get the same urges too ....almost did once...but was pulled back by a friend who was standing by me....

[Ash0198]

i also get premonitions about me crashing into other cars...or the car blowing up when i go to put petrol in it...heh...:/

Thanks everyone-

I do not want to harm anyone else. I do not even kill insects. But as I was driving to pick up my Aunt to take her to a funeral, I thought what if this car just went straight, off of the road, and into the mountain? No one would care. In fact it would just be another hassle to my Mom as well as an embarrassment for her.

I have to write a will.

WHat is wrong with me?

Yes.......I have thought about driving off an overpass...crossing over the lane to have an head on collision with a truck(a woman in my town did that last winter).....and just wishing to be in a fatal car accident. I have told T this and his question to me is "What do those thoughts do for you?". Well what do they do for us? I guess they release pressure, emotions...IDK.

I get that, too. Minds can be evil.

I've had these thoughts from time to time for most of my life and actually acted on it once when I was a teenager, drove my car right off the road. Wasnt hurt too bad and didnt involve any other cars but I just couldn't resist that urge. I am lucky, it could have been much worse. I still get those types of thoughts sometimes even different ones like stepping in front of a train as its pulling into a station. Its a self destructive urge thats scary to have.

SGH-

When I am in the major city that is closest to where I reside, I want to jump down onto the train tracks as well.

DO you remember why you did act on it when you were a teen?

Thats a very good question. I dont remember my exact thoughts but my overall mood was not good.... frustration and anger were the strongest emotions I remember at the time. I was feeling self destructive like I wanted to do something to hurt myself and once the thought entered my mind to crash my car that was it.

[tealBumblebee]

Yes, Kirby you are not alone. In fact, when T asked about the Sui thoughts in my second session, that was the exact one I gave her (about driving off the highway and into a tree).

I have an almost irresistible urge to jump off cliffs. We live in a very mountainous area and it's hard for me to not do it sometimes.

[kirby777]

Everyone,

Thanks for sharing. This may sound odd/stupid, but I just figured out I have suicidal thoughts. I always thought if I were to do it, it would be w/medication and ETOH.

I guess I am going to have to tell T this.

[CaptainKirk]

I always feel like I want to jump in front of vehicles, off buildings, out of cars, drive off the road... it freaks me out.

[doyoutrustme]

I always feel like jumping on train tracks or into traffic. For me, its the feeling of having control over my own death while giving everyone else the illusion it was a tragic accident. Not being immortalized as someone who killed themselves.

Today I thought about driving in front of a semi. I couldn't find a reason not to, I just waited too long to hit the gas.
