I think I'm more aware of the fear, I don't so much feel compelled to do it as feel compelled to play out the horrible fantasy in my head. Every time I walk round by the harbour, for example, I think about the buggy falling in the water, and wrestling to unclick the buckles as it sinks... ugh. Why do I do it? I hop it's for hte same reasons. Scary picture too! Poor little RP! Yes, this makes sense.

'Yeah, but what would it REALLY be like to be in the twisting metal? What would seven volumes of pain be like, and can I have it just for a second, just one teensie second please?' I can even bring it to the point where I can smell that imaginary bit of sulphur that your head fills up with in a collision, or that white iron taste that lasts for considerably less than a second if you do take a knock on a footie pitch or sth. You may have something in yr theory. Maybe it's just like a fire drill. Hope there's never a real fire though. All the time, since always.

Even customers used to comment on it so it's fairly common!! I threatened on my last day that i would unclip the largest waterford crystal chandelier and let it drop to it's death....never did get round to it.Think i'd be paying it off til my dying day :P k8 i used to work for a posh store in Dublin(naming no names) and the urge to run amok in the crystal dept and smash things was omnipresent!

I'm not a huge fan of the happy pill phenomenon. Rick; Thanks :) Freaks Unite!!! I guess to be normal is to be slightly crazy... who'da thought? English Mum; I get the same urges in Waterford Crystal shops!!!! The sound of something expensive shattering is strangely satisfying. Xbox4nappyrash; That's what gets me... how easy it is to just give in to the thought and do it. Why is the prospect of random destruction so momentarily inviting?! Problemchildbride; Well said!! I suppose that's why horror films are so inviting. (to some!) Raptureponies; It's like a lava lamp, isn't it?! Camsavwin; Me too! I'm glad I confessed now :) Roy; Yeah ok you got me! Maybe it has something to do with the service industry? Maybe it's as a result of all the Guinness I sneaked out of my dad's pints when I was a toddler... who knows. Tara; Really? That's quite comforting in a disturbing sort of way! Nick; It's such a fine line... it makes me wonder, if everyone entertains these thoughts, all it takes is one slightly unstable person to follow through and that's the thing - it could be anybody at any time!

We all have self-destructive urges along with the positive ones. And we all have wild imaginations that conjure up weird "what if" scenarios. The only problem is if you actually want to turn the urges into reality. Sure, we all have crazy thoughts like that. We all have self-destructive urges along with the positive ones.

You're okay.
