I read in some psychology article once that these kind of thoughts ate actually therapeutic, especially off the person does not usually allow themselves or repress such negative thoughts, add long s you DON't act on them. It's like venting. Internal venting. Anyone else read about this stuff?
how often do you have these thoughts, or rather the most important question, what triggers them in particular?
I do study many fields of psychology, but no, I have not heard of this yet. I do see what you're saying, but in my case, they do not feel therapeutic. They occur when I'm at my utter most emotional low points. I have been concerned for some time that I may have a mood disorder such as manic depression (bipolar), but from what I've read in the DSM, my episodes do not meet criteria for diagnosis. At least from what I can remember about my mental state. What normally triggers them is a combination of rage and sadness, usually resulting from me not accepting certain personal faults and past issues.
