-sometimes when im holding a sharp knife and my someones around i think about what would happen if i stabbed them! NOT TAHT I WOULD! I PROMISE it just crosses my mind!
-im on a second story floor, and look down and wonder what would happen if i just hopped over and jumped!I WASNT CONSIDERING IT (oh yea this is when i realized maybe i was becoming suicidal?)
-i was holding my dog and thought what if i dropped him down the stairs(PROMISE I WOUDLNT!!I KNOW IT SOUNDS CRAZY)
-a kid was standing near by me and i wondered what would happen if i grabbed him and ran
OKAY I PROMISE I WASNT CONSIDERING ANY OF THIS IT JUST CROSSED MY MIND AND I DONT KNOW WHY I EVEN THOUGHT OF IT IN THE FIRST PLACE

It's natural to wonder about morbid things-- "If I could choose how to die, what would it be?" or "If I died tomorrow, would people care?". However, when it starts to get more than just curious wonderings, that's when you might need to talk to someone. Being suicidal is something that only YOU personally can figure out-- we don't know you, so we can't know what's going on in your head! If you feel like these feelings are getting out of control, talk to an adult. But right now, as long as you understand that, y'know, dropping dogs down the stairs is wrong, I think you'll be fine :).

Darby answered Sunday May 3 2009, 3:19 pm: You are perfectly normal! They're just these slight mental compulsions like 'what if..?' You're even saying that you would never do these things and that you don't want to. It's just your mind being curious and wandering a bit. It won't affect you in the long run as long as you are positive that you aren't going to do any of these things. The only way this will affect you is if you start doing them. Other than that, just laugh them off. When you think something like that, say in your head, "Ha, that's silly. What am I thinking?" And then let it go. Don't think anymore about it or if it's normal or not.
