I just want to know if it's normal to wish that you were sick or got in trauma so you didn't have to take an upcoming test. Like when I am driving, I have these random, spontaneous thoughts "oh what if I got into an accident? then I won't have to take the test tomorrow." Not suicidal ideation, but random thoughts that come and go. My mind wanders off and sometimes I have these thoughts like oh i wish i was dead so I don't have to take the test. Just random, spontaneous thoughts.

I don't know if this is an abnormal behavior. is it?

Just think of finals like a band-aid. Don't debate keeping it on any longer and rip the sucker out in one go. It might sting, but then the pain is all gone 😀

Same with finals. Realize that after it's over, it's over.

I'd venture its pretty common to think about minor injuries getting you out of stressful situations.My surgical colleagues and I used to opine that we wished we would get an illness requiring hospitalization or maybe break a leg so we could get some rest. I recall some of us were jealous when one of the junior residents got meningitis. We drew the line when the Vascular Fellow had a GI bleed and ended up in the MICU.

Am I doing it right? This interwebz thing is confusing.

Yeah it's normal. Happens when you have a job, too.

I think it is borderline phobia/anxiety disorder if you consider those things seriously.
Just think if the test goes bad, it goes bad. If you have an accident you dont do the test, that is equal as failing , and have a freaking spoiled car and body.

I hope I get in a fatal car accident on my way to work.

Of course, I'll die and go to hell...and end up right back at work.

Sounds like a behavioral science question. Would be better suited in the Step 1 forum.
