There’s a vast difference between thoughts and actions. Don’t get the idea you have to put every thought into action. It’s very common for people to say “I could have just killed him.” When one is angry it can be a justifiable thought but, as you know, our society does not allow killing. So, don’t call it mentally ill or abnormal, Just call it not allowed.
You’ll be where-ever you check yourself into. Can you have a friend or family member drive you to one you think is good? Perhaps have a friend or family member call by phone first to find out the process…
I was just at my Nurse Specialist. She wants to know how I’m feeling. In the session, I said, “I just felt like punching you in the mouth or puling your hair,:” to which she responded, “If that’s how you feel, you’re remarkably well behaved.” End of discussion.
