When moderate, they’re actually healthy.
Intrusive thoughts like this, stabbing someone when you hold a knife, or dropping a baby are very normal and believed to have been developed in humans as a way to foresee and prevent danger.
People with OCD, such as myself, get two scoops of this shit and it can be totally overwhelming or even scary at times.

I had a recurring nightmare when I was a kid about a fence like that where all my friends got impaled on it trying to climb over.

With you. Stupid Internet.

I had a similar situation where a fence of this style was placed directly next to a bike path. At walking height, it would have been hard to land on, but on a bike at speed? It would have been way too easy to be impaled, and it was terrifying.

"two scoops of this shit" hit deep. I think I'll start using that when describing my struggles with ADHD
-
That does indeed sound very scary, to not have control over what you want to do
-
Oh the lack of control is very much noted. It’s compensated for by compulsive cleaning, organizing, or any other tasks that allow me to compulsively exert control over my environment. It’s my tell when I’m struggling to accept something in my life that I can’t control.

Your thoughts are of pushing people in onto the subway tracks? Mine are of being pushed.
YOU WILL NEVER GET ME, YOU HEAR! My back is always to the wall! -

My intrusive platform thoughts are always accidental. They didn’t mean to bump into you! I promise!

Those are called, the faces of death.
