Death drive

Death drive is a term used to describe a feeling or urge that you have to hurt yourself or take reckless risks. It's like an inner voice that tells you to do things that could be dangerous or that could cause you harm. For example, it could tell you to drive really fast, ignore warning signs, or to jump off a high place. The death drive is a type of self-destructive behavior and it can be very dangerous.
