Violent Thoughts - Can Anyone Give Advise Or Relate? Posted: 08-15-05 21:58pm
I am 16 years old and have been struggling
with depression for about a month and a
half now. My depression was kicked off
by a panic attack I had on july 11.
I have fallen into the bad habit of
bottling up my anger and trying to stay
away from conflict - dealing with parents
- and the like. Since it started i;ve
been having a lot of violent and negotive
thoughts. I dont sit there and fantisize
over it, more like they just pop into my
mind. Initially they really scared me,
but I seem to be getting more of a handle
on it.
Another symptom i've been having is a sort
of hypersensitivity to whats going on
around me. I find myself doing a lot of
double takes. More often then not there
is an excuse for what I double take at,
but the state of mind has been causing me
a lot of anxiety.
I am not a violent person, this crap is
just really freakin me out. I somehow
was able to pass my junior license test,
but am too anxious to drive -
i appreciate any advise - thanks

yeah, same here. I have some very violent
thoughts - the most common ones being
punching people in the face or ripping
there throats out.
The best thing I do is just do the thing
im scared about at the time. That helps
stop my anger. You know like that nike
advertisement ...Just do it.
I think its a male hormone thing.

Distract Yourself Posted: 09-11-05 02:03am
Hi --
know where you're coming from. That book
I wrote about the naked bird watcher - the
girl said to distract herself helped. So
go and take yourself off to do something.
Exercise, music paint or whatever you're
into. And challenge those thoughts bud

Gday,
i get the same way I am a female 27 it is
a symptom of my bipolar when the severe
mania kicks in.No kidding I really think
of the most wicked ways to hurt people
that have ever hurt me.I hate feeling like
that its awful.I once waited for someone
to come over to my house for about 3 days
I had a big thick glass bottle that I was
going to bash them with that I kept close
by the front door.I know for a fact that
if she would have arrived in those days
where I was having an episode I would have
definatley bashed her with it very badly
as she did do something terrible to me
that I cannot ever forgive.I knew then I
needed help as I was relapsing so they put
me on epilim to control the mania.I feel
for you its horrible having such wicked
thoughts I know what you are going
through.Just make sure you get some good
help and advice.

I think you need a vent to let your anger
and frustration flow away from you.
Crying a lot can be a good idea as it
relieves a person from all those thoughts
to some extent. Can't advise anything
more as i'm not an expert. :)

attacks.

I recommend trying cognitive-behavioral
therapy, cbt, before medications. I
associate your intrusive thoughts with
obsessive-compulsive disorder, ocd.

I have the same problems at football
practice when kids start attacking me. I
dont mean like picking on me I mean like
taking rocks and chucking them at my head.
They also find it fun to take their
helmets and thrusts them into my balls
while im showering. What I find helps is
to ask the coach if I could be excused
from practice and running. Yeah it seems
a little like forest gump but I just run I
dont know were im heading some times I go
to subway down the street and sometimes I
go all the way home and back(about 5
miles). Its kindof like im sweeting away
my angers and pain. But make sure u dont
over do it b/c then u might get heat
exaution or even heat stroke.

i go through the same things and am now
seeking professional help. i found when i
have the violent thaughts, i just picture
myself hugging the person i think the
thaught towards, and that seems to help. i
would suggest above all, professional
help.

Hi Posted: 11-16-07 13:58pm
Hi, if you have a garden and when you have
those violent thoughts:just go and make a
hole and then tidy it and again and again
and......If you have no garden then why
not play Tennis(you can do that alone by
training yourself at serving) and if you
don't know where are the courts in your
area then walk to find them.
You can also take pictures and stuff that
make you concentrating on something.
Take care
