Ah, okay. It's good you're not targeting anyone in specific.
Well, then, I agree with wildflowerchild. I would treat them like suicidal thoughts. For example, "I wish I could hurt someone, but I won't do it" is very different from "I plan to go out and do XYZ to gravely injure someone". That's the depression equivalent of "I wish I never existed" vs having a plan. You're not going to go to IP for saying "I wish I never existed."
Though, if you're the kind of person who makes rash decisions and gets extremely angry easily, then personally, I would go to IP. But that's just me.
I used to have homicidal thoughts quite often until my lamictal dose was boosted. I never planned to act on them. BUT that's my decision. I'm not saying you should do what I do. Just saying that a boost in mood stabilizer is what helped me.
