What if the person closest to you was the devil in disguise?

Like I try so hard to be a good person. But I do occasionally have really bad thoughts. And I don't know why they happen or where they come from. I heard theyre intrusive thoughts. But I read a lot of the news, articles everyday. And someone just snaps and ends up killing their whole family or friends. When they used to be a good person. How does a good person turn evil and twisted so suddenly. I would often think to myself. Will I turn evil one day. But it's not my nature. I rather kill myself then have anyone hurt. But when I'm angry I have trouble controlling myself and my emotions. So I take mood stabilizers. It happens everyday. The person you knew yesterday is not the same person today. And that is a scary thought.

I see this as a matter of lack of confidence.

If you are confident in your actions, you can not succumb to your negative thoughts. You simply reject that as a possible outcome.

Only when you are not confident are you likely to have doubts about yourself.

That lack of confidence is fear. No matter what that fear is.

"Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain." Frank Herbert, Dune

There is some Truth in this science fiction story. Not that I'm a believer in most of his stuff.

When agoraphobic person is thought to be ready. Psychologist often suggest they attempt to go out. Whether they do so or not is a different matter. Yet just the suggestion can determine whether they are ready to do so. They would have some confidence in themselves when they are ready. Rather than totally reject the idea.
I tried to kill my boyfriend at the time in our bed, and almost succeeded. I was having an episode (unmedicated) and thought he was trying to kill me. Anyone is capable of anything. Period.

@JustGoneNow I'm glad you had not. There are people in prison who don't deserve prison and should be institutionalized. And to be sentenced your whole life in a cell when your mentally ill is cruel in nature. I'm glad you are alright.
@ScarletWitch he held me down until the police came so I couldn’t hurt him.
@ScarletWitch I was so scared. I thought I was gonna die.

A lot of the people who "snap" are those who were having social, emotional, mental problems...they were already messed up, and chose to express their hurt by lashing out to kill others...

They were already on that path.

You are not.

Do not stress about this, too. Just be glad, careful...

My daughter was gifted a dream catcher once that we found out was made in prison and she had bad nitemares while she had it i burnt it and they went away

@Whyme that's interesting. You could also put the dream catcher outside a window. I'm Native American Navajo. If u leave it outside your window all day it empties the dream catcher of anything evil or bad within it.

@ScarletWitch i wasnt a believer till then

I think everyone has bad thoughts at some point and sometimes people get to a certain point where they feel that hurting others seems the only way.But I don’t think you are like that

I think anyone can snap under the right circumstances

Intrusive thoughts usually come from past trauma of some sort of abuse..It can really manifest if not taken care of properly. So focus on.the good and well being of your mind. And stay away from the darkness.

It is scary. Always try to recognize those signs in stages before you get out of control
