It's missing at least one. The urge to do something disastrous, like chuck your car keys off the side of the cross channel ferry or turn the wheel while passing a HGV.
Any others?
FaceBook is brimming over with Anecdoche and Exulanis 🙂
Sorry what was that MrHaggis, ahh you don't understand anyway.

Do you get that? I thought I was the only one (OK, maybe not the only one but whenever i mention it to people they just look at me like I'm deranged.) It's glasses with me, a compulsion to throw my glasses away / off stuff.
Excellent. Have experienced a good deal of those, now have words!
A few more that I don't know the words for:
- The vicarious feeling of vertigo or panic when your mobile phone is endangered ie held out of a high window.
- The urge to walk away from everything in your life and begin anew.
a compulsion to throw my glasses away
I got kicked out of the Ritzy in Birmingham for chucking a pint of piss-weak beer on the floor that some random gave me.
Is this the same thing?

My mate decided to tell me he gets this whilst he was driving us over a big bridge. He was saying he gets a compulsion to drive off the edge 😯

A friend of mine had the urge to pull on the hand brake of a car when in the passenger seat whilst going around the bend....which he allowed himself to carry out. It didn't end well! He now flys search and rescue helicopters and appears to have his urges under control!

Yep I'm full of Jouska and Lachesism and Jekyll's one. I though I was just paranoid and a bit messed in the head, but maybe I'm normal after all!! 😀
It's missing another one - the sense of weakness, frustration and inner hatred after having been reeled in by one of those 'XX things you didn't know..' clickbait titles on the internet.
The urge to model any random bit of Blutack into either a small curly turd or a Cornish Pasty.
Just me?

eg. urge to tell someone important to shut the f up during a meeting. Get that all the time.
Asking around the office here the urge to do something bad is not uncommon and indeed it is a known phenomenon

Enjoyed those!

Thank God this is not just me. Things like these just to see what would happen.

Ritzy Birmingham 🙂
Give anything a label and it becomes real.
Don't give them labels people! Don't!
The urge to persuade the voices in your head to fight each other rather than doing what they say.
Kill them normally wins but sometimes run and hide survives
few of them are emotions and you have explained all of them
Cool post, thanks.

I've read somewhere that this is what is commonly labelled as vertigo by many people - actually a strange compulsion to throw yourself off the edge, rather than a fear of falling. I reckon I get that.
What's the word for reading a load of words and meanings and then immediately forgetting them?
The first time you meet someone important/senior to you at work, does anyone find themselves wondering "what impact would it have on my life/career if I punched you in the face right now completely out of the blue?" The urge appears to be stronger the more important they are. God knows what I'd do if I met the Queen.

I get the urge to throw myself over the edge too, I don't want to actually commit suicide but I have an urge to see what the moment just before would feel like. Release or panic?

They've missed one from the list:
"I need to fart..."
"Oh my God...I don't think that was just a fart"
"No, my mistake. It was only a fart after all. Phew"
😕

I get that too, in one specific place, it's a pedestrian underpass beside a fast dual carriageway (southbound A24 south of Dorking FWIW). I have a strange compulsion to drive into it at speed. There were some large concrete blocks adjacent to the A3 slip road at Milford I used to contemplate driving into at full chat as well. Weird.
Definitely get "sonder" too, a lot!
Whenever I see one of the old wide gap storm drains I get the urge to drop my keys into them.
The sonder happens more and more as i get older and less self-centred.
Yesterday whilst stuck in traffic I saw a woman in a block of flats watering her plants. Before it would have been just a background scene in a film in my mind; now the sonder makes me see her as a real, whole person.
Enouement... yeah I've been there before... yep there it goes again
The urge to kick walking sticks or crutches out from underneath those using them
I once got the urge whilst in London to just get back on the Tube as the doors were closing and leave everything and everyone behind. Never had it anywhere else or since but the feeling I remember quite clearly. I think it was just the ease with which it could be done in such a large, crowded place.
Dunno if this has been mentioned already but it looks like this list might come from here:
