Strong urges to do things like pour a glass of water on myself - anyone else get odd urges?

[iaawal]

Not exactly a problematic thing but just wondering right now. I've always had these strong urges to do something random like dump a glass of water on my head or just pour the whole carton of milk on the floor. Sometimes with hot coffee or water I need to resist the urge to pour it on myself. Idk they're just random urges. 

Just want to see if others relate.

Yes, I can really relate.  I don't act on them, but they are definitely random, strong urges to do things that come out of the blue (ie like where did that thought/urge come from?).  Sometimes I really struggle to not do them.  Distraction is the key for me ... to take my mind elsewhere.

mhm distraction is also key for me. Sometimes I start doing them but stop

Yep. For me they're part of OCD. Apparently everyone gets strange thoughts like this, but people with OCD put more importance on them and can get obsessed.

Lol I just did this. Sitting here soaking wet in a zoom call after I just wanted to drink some water. Poured half of it on my head and couldn’t find anything but this post of other people wanting to do this. When I was younger and wanted to break things I would sometimes throw water on the floor because I realised it’s destructive enough to hit the spot but doesn’t cause any real damage. Didn’t have enough time to think about it before I did this one and currently considering how to explain this to my friends and go and change my clothes. I’m 23 btw
