Has this ever happened to you?

It happens to me every so often, I was reading about it, and it says it’s a normal occurrence, but it seems crazy how dark our mind really has to be, for it to be considered normal..

Ok, so have you ever been like at a really high place, like a skyscraper, or a cliff maybe, the roof of a building, and out of nowhere the intense need to jump kicks in. Like, you know in the back of your head that it’s stupid, but you get the feeling, even for just a moment, to jump off, even when you know it’ll end your life?

Because that happens to me all the time, and it doesn’t have to be in high places, for me it’s any situation that I think could possibly end my life, for example traffic, or jumping off the car in the middle of the express. Or maybe, I’m cooking, and I’d be holding a knife, and the “what if” thoughts start rushing in. Maybe I’m loosing my mind..... But I swear it happens a lot, but only for a few seconds, and then I realize how stupid I’m being.

Intrusive thoughts. Yes. They're not uncommon.
