I was really hesitant to mention it to anyone too... I didn't want them to cart me off to a psych ward. So far, it seems to help that I mention I have no intentions of doing anything about the thoughts and have no plans to act on them. I've been able to discuss them with my primary doctor and my counselor without anything wackadoo happening. They are sending me off to a psychiatrist, but I guess that seems appropriate, no?
