Interesting thread . . . . I have only a few times had scary/disturbing dreams, and occasionally have bad thoughts- but usually when I'm PMSing, I think I might have PMDD - though this one time ten years over I remember this scary vivid fantasy thought I had in high school. I was sitting behind this guy in my class and I envisioned drilling into the back of his head at the base of his skull and watching the blood drain out- I shocked myself and was scared - I'll never forget it and can easily envision it to this day, haunting really.- I've ever had such a thought since. Usually I just feel like I want to punch someone if I'm in a bad enough mood. But I usually stay away from people when I'm feeling like this and cheer myself with comedy. The funny thing is, I'm a really nice person and have a lot of patience so I rarely get upset. I also love to help others so when I have these feelings/thoughts I always have extreme guilt. But I read somewhere that we can all have these thoughts, it's like a random thing our brain does or something like that. Having these thoughts doesn't make us a bad person. Only if we did those things. At least that's what I'd like to believe. Possibly it's brought on by anxiety or depression and this is a coping mechanism our brain does to deal with the emotional pain?
