Hi I can't stop thinking about throwing my friend's baby out the window!!! I would NEVER do that, but it keeps flashing in my brain over and over! Am I bad person?

Intrusive thoughts never make you a bad person. What's important isn't that you have these thoughts: it's whether you act on them.

But they keep showing up in my brain! I created them!

Just because you have these thoughts in your brain doesn't mean that you created them. Do you create your dreams or sudden bursts of inspiration or every single thought that you have during the day?

But what if I actually do it?
gpt
You will never do it. Your distress shows that you'd never do such a thing. Truly bad people don't feel guilty.

But I'm afraid to be around her! I'm afraid I might do something horrible!

Have you thought about discussing this with your friend? Maybe you could practice exposure therapy together. She could supervise you while you hold the baby for increasingly long periods and eventually spend time with the baby alone.
