Thanks Racer, you always try to help me.
You're right, they are just bad thoughts, like a parasite. Sometimes I'm pretty good at pushing them away but somethings they get the better of me. I think I'll be OK. I actually read somewhere that it's best not to try to push them away or down, but to just accept them and realize that they're not what I'll do and they don't have any power over me. I read that that's normal for people to have occasional bad thoughts. Some people get upset over them, but most people do not.
I think you're probably right about how death affects people. I don't have too much experience with death. But I still cry once in a while because I miss Hammie, just a hamster, but I really attached to him. But the biggest reason I don't want to die is not because of other people, it's mostly a selfish reason. I enjoy life most of the time and I like living.
I've been seeing my pdoc for so long now that sometimes I sort of have conversations with her in my head and I can imagine what she'd tell me. I did this just yesterday with the studying. I'll try to imagine what she'll tell me when I have the bad thoughts.
Thanks again for your help Racer.
