So... usually when I hear about something - a shooting, natural disaster, etc - my first thoughts are that it is as horrible and traumatic as possible. It is almost like being bored with news, but on a huge level, and for those moments, I just feel so hateful and cold. Usually either that they deserve to suffer or I just don't care and want to be entertained.
I am hesitant about sharing these thoughts with my doctors. There isn't an impulse to actually harm anyone or myself, just... wishing for something to happen. The empathy does take over after a moment, but that just makes me feel far worse about myself for having to correct those thoughts in the first place. I've been on meds for so long that I am not sure what these thoughts would be not medicated. I fear that the empathy would never clamp down. |

I avoid listening to the news on TV. And I don't read the newspaper. I just don't want to hear it...

Thoughts like this aren't as uncommon as you may believe. There is no shame in mere thoughts.
You'd have more cause for concern if your intrusive thoughts included harming others directly and you started to doubt your capacity to control yourself. Hatred or empathy, which one wins depends on which one you choose to feed. |

I am either glad more people died because now there are less parasites in the world or I am depressed I was not the one who got to die unexpectantly. Really all depends on what mood, part, personality is in the drivers seat that day.

Looking for safety, protection, being cherished and loved can often be normal unmet needs in childhood, and the survivor searches for these in other adults. This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors. |
