Why do I get these fantasies to hurt others? And then turn on myself? Is it part of psychosis?
I keep getting thoughts placed in my head to use knife and cut and I can’t harm my husband I love him and he’ll be terrified of me and I then to be safe rather turn on myself.
Why do I do this? Does sz/sza cause this?
Sorry for asking so many questions!
If you’re having thoughts of harming others, you should be in the hospital. You need better treatment
Yes, it’s the sz, I think.
I have similar ideation,
from time to time.
You absolutely need to be in a hospital. You’re thinking about harming yourself and others. You need to go where it is safe.
I’ve heard about some people with schizophrenia having homicidal thoughts so it could be a cause, but most homicides occur by people without schizophrenia so I don’t really know.
But in any event these are not normal healthy thoughts. I had some crazy experiences during psychosis but I’ve never fantasized about hurting or killing people. Therapy could help but once you tell someone you are having these thoughts they may lock you up until they get to the bottom of it. I think you should tell your pdoc about this, and try to fix it.
The therapist at my school, who I never spoke with, told the class that we can talk to her about anything, but if we had suicidal thoughts they would take extra steps, it wouldn’t remain just between you and her.
There’s such a thing called “harm ocd” you should read about it
How does one tell if it’s that or psychosis?
Psychosis Is like when a voice tells you to do the violent activity. Like a command hallucination.
Psychosis is when you believe it’s an entity that is putting the images and thoughts in your mind.
But if it’s just thoughts and images that are popping up and it makes you nervous or afraid that you will hurt someone because of the image or thoughts and it just keeps popping up then that’s ocd.
