Dark thoughts and troubled mind calmed by dark anime/manga?

I was just thinking that all these dark and twisted thoughts of mine tend to go on-hold I guess when I read or watch something dark or dramatic, cus even though the creation itself is mainly fiction, I still like to believe that those stories have been written by someone, who's inspired by something real... And so it makes me feel like I am not the only one with this kind of problems... Though quite often it happens so that I just 'drown' in my small 'bubble' and I forget everything about the outer-world and just cut myself off automatically... And when I do, I tend to do some bad sht to myself...
But, what I'm trying to say with all this is that as weird as it might sound, but anime/manga(esp. deeper and darker ones) helps me slightly. Not much, but more then other sht...

So, I'll ask - is there anyone who can kinda relate to what I just said?

(and sorry, obviously I ain't native speaker, but I hope I got my message through...)

its normal to have bad thoughts and its called intrusive thoughts whats not normal is when you obsessed over them and feel guilt too that may trigger OCD

Intrusive thoughts, urges, and images are of inappropriate things at inappropriate times, and generally have aggressive, sexual, or blasphemous themes.

I guess these are intrusive thoughts...
But, I'm still trying to figure out whether someone else finds specific themed content a bit calming as I do...

I don't really follow... Sorry, if it sounded offending or anything... But I wrote it purely for general discussion, cus my own common 'fixes' aren't really working anymore... And I thought I might find new perspectives here or something like that...

Yeah I think you need to lay off the "dark" manga/anime and read something more suitable for all ages. Dark manga has too much swearing and graphic content that needs to be removed please.

No, I calm my thoughts by responding to walls of text every day. Otherwise I go mad.

I was indoctrinated by an inamorata rabbit,
Adenomata affronted.
It was the verecund, dismissed creatures
That I jubilated in most.
This rabbit I would nurture,
At the aiguille of esse,
The anneal of noblesse.
