I used to do that for most of my life. It was how I lived out conflicts that I was too afraid to have in real life. And it hurt me badly because I relived the stress of the anger 1000's of times instead of one time.
It triggered Irritable Bowel Syndrome to the point where it was getting nearly impossible to leave the house. I was able to break this role playing by saying to myself "I don't think this way anymore" anytime I was role playing.
In the matter of a few days, my IBS disappeared and has been gone for 8 years now!
