Is it normal that my thoughts become severely violent

My violent thoughts consists of beating up someone and wanting to make sure that they are bruised and they bleed to death. My thoughts feel brutal, I know this sounds like the previous one where I have psychopathic thoughts. But in this thought I want to severely give someone brain damage.

Especially like the previous one where there's the desecration of peoples lives.

People keep telling me that I need to seek help. But how?

I know I don't see my therapist until September and I am too scared if I tell my thoughts to my mother and my father or telling this to my 20 year old brother.

    Dont worry I think about killing people all the time. It's just that I convert their charicter flaws into charicters in novels I write and kill them in excruciating ways for both the charicter and the reader.

    If you got a lot of rage just convert that power into something else and then eventually the rage is replaced by something more useful.

    Sublimation. I learned this in one of my high school classes and in college for psychology. The google def. “ sublimation is a mature type of defense mechanism, in which socially unacceptable impulses or idealizations are transformed into socially acceptable actions or behavior, possibly resulting in a long-term conversion of the initial impulse.”

    Ever thought of taking boxing or mma? Just to let those urges out in a setting where people can stop you from going to far and where it is technically ok to hit someone.

    You should talk to your therapist about this. See what they say.

    When I reach retirement age and I’ve had every life experience I want, I’ll buy a nice expensive car, find a big crowd, drive straight onto the pavement and kill as many of them as possible then get into a high speed car chase with the police (I’ll be on live tv by this point), exchange fire, killing as many cops as possible and either be killed in the shoot out or be taken alive and live out the rest of my days getting free food/accommodation in a nice little psych ward where they serve me chicken nuggets and apple pie.

    Looking forward to that day allows me to get out of bed and smile and be polite to people. Maybe you just need a special day to look forward to.

    They can’t prove why I did it. I’m small, female and look incredibly non threatening. I cry in court and say the big scary man in my head made me do it and that I was raped as a child and boom, everyone feels sorry for my tragic past. I’d just have to put on a good show.
