It's a super common way of people dealing with their own trauma or mental health. I used it a lot in processing my own abuse trauma.

Writing bad stuff happening to characters lets you:
- control the narrative, it's literally a safe space to process because you are completely in control
- disassociate from the situation, because it's'happening' to the character
- borrow the strength of that character to deal with that situation, our faves are usually characters we admire and empathise with strongly

It's cathartic, and it was possibly the most effective tool I used and still use during my recovery.

Completely agree with all of this! The only treatment Secret!Anon needs is for their depression and anxiety. Not for the coping mechanisms they use, which are relatively common amongst fic writers.

Yeah, obviously I meant this, not because the characters are going to get hurt.

Sorry, I phrased my comment weirdly. I agree with what you said completely and was attempting to echo your sentiments.
