I am forever having these strange maybe sadistic thoughts.
For example I will be shaving my legs and will imagine myself slicing my eyeballs with the blades. Sometimes I'll be driving on the highway and wonder what would happen if I suddenly jerked the wheel. I was reading somebody's post the other day and they were talking of pawing at a cement wall causing their fingertips become raw bloody stubs, I wondered how this would feel and couldn't stop thinking about it for a while. Then there are the times when I see somebody holding a baby, I always have this vision and/or queasy feeling that the person is going to drop the baby and I wonder what how the person would react etc. I don't fucking get it. Seriously. I am not suicidal or homicidal even. These thoughts make me cringe yet I can't help but envision them. I can't help it. I don't know if it's a fear that these things will happen to me or what. I don't hold newborns, get anxiety while driving and have a fear of razors and hot things (hate taking things out of the oven, I picture burning my flesh and it stinking and sticking to the rack in a rubbery looking mess while I look at it in shock and disbelief.
I had a friend that used to lick her finger then touch a hot iron, it would totally freak me out.

Everyone else here will lie to you about this aside from me.
Do not worry about these thoughts. It's all part of a bigger picture, and you're one of the lucky ones to catch a slight, blurry glimpse.

I often think about someone coming into my house and shooting my husband and me dead, leaving our 3 month old son all alone. I think it's more worry than anything else. I certainly don't want that to happen, but I think about what would happen. Would someone hear the shots? Hear him crying for days? Would the husband's work investigate his absence? etc.

Everyone has thoughts like that. It doesn't mean you are destined to be the next Ted Bundy though.
It's scary to think just how easy it really is to just turn the wheel in your car and boom - you're flying off a cliff to your bloody, painful death.
It's a realization of your own mortality, vulnerability, fear of pain, and fear of how easy it is to make a horrible, fatal mistake you can't take back.
Don't let yourself continue thinking like this once you start though, it's just not healthy, and it really isn't much fun now, is it...

I have the same thing. Whenever I'm walking in sandals, I'm afraid the person in front of me will stop, and I'll break my toenails on the other person's heel. I think its just stress though.

have you ever been in a big accident of some sort ?
I get shit like that all the time. Given the seemingly unlimited possiblities for absolute chaos, the universe is disturbingly still. The underlying desire that keeps us alive is probably the strongest part of our evolutionary makeup, so no matter what our sadistic minds would love to do, on the most part we cant bring ourselves to do it, luckily.

It's sort of the reverse for me. I take calculated risks from time to time and then replay the incident in my mind - tormenting myself for being reckless. Here's an example: I will change lanes or merge onto a busy highway not completely knowing if the way is clear. I'll replay it later and think that I had a brush with death... or could have been killed etc.
In both cases, I'm going to say that our minds are playing tricks on us. The only way I would seek help or therapy is if it got chronic or immobilizing. There are just too many pill-pushing psychiatrists running around loose right now. I hope your problem goes away in time.

Cutting is a perfect remedy for OCD.

I work with table saws and the blade is mesmerizing, often I have thought about touching it.

HA! I didnt think i was alone w/ this.
Another thing I have a tendency to do is, once I get a thought in my head such as 'Stop on the way home for cigs' I will repeat that to myself in my head for anywhere from five to thirty five minutes, whenever I realize that I'm doing it. I spell things to in my head that I say, if the number of letters (including spaces) in said sentence is not divisible by two I get pissed. I will re-arrange letters and spaces to make it as such. Fucking aggravating as hell. OH GOD, I freaking type sentences out in my head on a keyboard over and over again, which I think stems from years of typing classes.....
