Hi. Im 15. Ive been having thoughts about harming my family, even though I love them VERY much. It’s SO annoying because I’d be thinking about something and all of a sudden I’ll think, “I can go kill someone right now, it’d be so easy.” I hate it, because like I said, I LOVE them. Why is this happening? Lately, I’ve also been getting urges to act on these thoughts, knowing I don’t want to. But, in the moment, I tell myself I do want it. Please help.

I'm sorry to hear you're having intrusive thoughts recently but well done for asking for help. One good thing to know is that everyone gets intrusive thoughts sometimes. Another is that intrusive thought get stronger the more you react to them, i.e. yours have only become a problem because you try to fight them out of your head or reassure yourself you'd never do them. If you left them alone, they'd go away naturally like they do for everyone else. It's hard to do at first but gets easier the more you practice.
I hope this helps
