Whether it's failing a test, the death of a relative or friend, or spending a friday night alone, everyone has moments where they just feel terrible. So OT, how do you deal with bad thoughts? Do you get angry? Play some video-games? Utilize a stress ball?
Make the bed and get out of your head. I focus on practical concerns and after say a couple of hours I'm ok. If it is problems with other people who have a major aptitude for psychological rationilization for their barbaric behaviourI use music to drown out their intrusiveness. Sometimes I feel like an old Time magazine in a doctor's waiting room that people can rifle through. Friggin vultures never stop.
Playing video games works fairly well for me as it keeps me occupied and they're typically so generic that it's easy to mindlessly while away the hours. The best thing though that I found to help was just to stay social and get together with friends and family if it applies and just get out and do stuff. It sort of lets your brain realize that that one thing isn't the end all be all of your life and that there are greater aspects to you as a person.
i lay down on the floor alone in my room and imagine im different, imagine that im somebody, so vividly that I actually talk to other made up people that my ideal self or situation knows.
I try to put all of my bad experiences into writing. It's amazing how getting the thoughts out of your head and putting it on paper can help your sanity.
Haha I thought you were talking about real bad thoughts like killing living things, not the stuff you mentioned. Oh well I never get the bad thoughts TC mentioned, since I have a switch for all my emotions.
