Sometimes when crossing a bridge I have the compulsion to throw my handbag over the side?

Question

I never have...just wonder what it is that causes that compulsion

Answer 1

Ha Ha , that's funny...I think all people have weird thoughts like that...sometimes when I'm driving I think about smashing into a tree, or driving off a bridge, I never do, don't think I would ever, but that random thought just pops up...who knows maybe we are both crazy

Answer 2

I had something similar, some time ago; I was told it was a feature of OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder).

OCD isn't simply wanting things neat; it's complex, and has different features that afflict different people.

If you have other uncomfortable feelings, you might want to see someone about it. I'm very glad that I did!

Answer 3

heres what you do take an old handbag write down all your feelings on a piece of paper put it in the handbag and trow it over never tried it but sounds like it could work never know if you dont try.

Answer 4

Been there Done that. There is something in the purse connected to people of the past you need not have with you Throw it out or leave it at home. I hope you get the other things worked out soon too.

Answer 5

That is actually a relitivly comon mental issue that some folks have. Be glad you only think about it - there are some folks that actualy do stuff like that.

Answer 6

Who knows? Maybe it has something to do with a past life. I'm scared to death of bridges.
