niceI’ve lived in this house with my folks for over 20 years. We have our disagreements, but no abuse. Done an unknowable amount of chores to keep the place tidy, comfortable, and free of pests.
For a few years now- ever since I saw this business ad that promised customers catharsis by breaking glass, beating up junked cars, and so-on with hammers- I’ve had this mental image in my head. Of breaking the windows of this house, ripping up furniture, smashing electronics, spraying paint on every surface, etc. Just that freedom from having to avoid scratching anything and hearing about the damage for years… or the idea that I’ll never have to do tedious stuff like dusting…
Just an odd fantasy. Like it isn’t wannabe-arson or anything. Just feels like an especially seductive intrusive thought. I wonder if farmers ever feel this way when they have to do a controlled burn of their fields.

You know that cartoony reaction fictional characters sometimes have when experiencing extreme shock or surprise? Dropping a tea tray or letting something crash into the ground or missing their mouth with something they're drinking? Or the idea of childishly slamming a door closed, pushing a chair in angrily?that's quite interesting, I see where you are coming from though, seeming as though everything must be in perfect order in your home, wanting to destroy that order, I would want to do that too. sometimes perfection can be the cause of such devious things.

Those all sound a bit cathartic. Living according to someone else's values (cleanliness, minimal loud sounds, not showing too much emotion or you'll be implied to be disruptive/rude/mocking) is... uncomfortable. Yay housing market bubble nonsense.
6 minutes and 3 seconds, “The Body Keeps the Score” animated lecture on the body and mind connection. Just in case anyone wants to improve their self-awareness or get a taste of what a therapist would talk to you about.
