Does anyone have some like fantasies and/or thoughts, that are about things that are really negative, but they make you laugh?

I have been the last few days - it's things with knives and what would follow on from that, but it's pretty funny, I couldn't even talk about it without smiling, I think it's someone/people making me think this though.

Oh yeah and it's made me feel so much better

Nicola, I have to admit that I can't think of any, not negative ones that make me laugh. I have plenty of fanciful thoughts and they can give me pleasure and amuse me, but I can't think of any negative ones that have. But, I have a very strange sense of humour, as you know! There are probably some things I can't recall right now.

Have you shared this with your psychologist?

Do you think you laugh because you know how far-fetched the thoughts are? When friends of mine were in therapy one asked another if he'd attacked anyone as they walked down the street. The other replied 'No, except for the old lady you mugged who lies bleeding in the gutter.' The first man turned in alarm, but then laughed when he realized the second was joking. They both then found it very amusing. It was also a therapy that helped.

Love, Tricia.

Yeah I've had this before, it wasn't funny then, it was just ok.
This time I find it funny, it's really violent, but I think I'm in control more than they are, at least I am for now.

I told my psychiatrist and my CPN - well I kept smiling, so they asked why, after some questions he said it was fine, as long as I control it.

My psychologist is away, I have things to tell her about the cameras and the messages I got and worked, I'll email you about that later though.

It's weird to find those kind funny, I know, I don't think it's funny to go and kill someone, but doing it over and over again in your head is funny, this time anyway.
I can't be sure if it's them or me though.

I get your example with your friends and I see how that could help.
