Trigger Warning: Gore!


Sometimes I'll be walking with my mom in the grocery store and I'll get the sudden urge to reach into my eye socket and dig my eye out just to see how badly it will hurt and to watch it dangle. Other times it's more tame, like if I'm wearing less clothes than usual I'll see the rough skin on my shoulder or in my chest area and want to take a needle and stab it through like I'm giving myself a piercing. Things like that are a natural occurrence for me, and although I know they're probably just intrusive thoughts, they aren't alarming when I have them. They feel probable, like I could actually do them if I was alone. Does this happen to anyone else?
