Ok bare with me here because I know this is crazy but I can’t move on. Also the below is quite gruesome so please be safe when reading.

About 2 weeks ago I had a “flashback” of murdering a man, chopping up his body, putting it in hesian sacks and in the boot of my car. It was so vivid and realistic and I felt all panicky and sick that somebody would find out.

Now in my sane moments like now I know this didn’t happen and it’s just my crazy mind making things up but I also have huge stretches of time where it feels real and I feel terrified that someone is going to find out. I think about going to the police to hand myself in and today spent about 20 sat outside a police station fighting myself in whether to go in or not.

Just so I don’t drip feed I have a diagnosis of borderline personality disorder and I am on various medications for this.

I just don’t no what to do. How do I get rid of these thoughts and the guilty sick feeling I have.

Hi CleverQuacks,

We're really sorry to hear you're going through this, it must be terrifying.

We hope you don't mind, but we'd like to edit the title of your thread if that's okay, to something like 'Having obsessive thoughts' otherwise we know we're going to keep receiving reports about it.

We can see you're getting lots of good advice here. There are also plenty more organisations which can offer you support in our Mental Health webguide, please do take a look. Flowers
