How to go about exploring ego and/or dark emotions/experiences in a healthy way?

Movies, reading books, computer games, dreams are good candidates for exploring as such.

Yeah, I think I took all the media I used to indulge in that was negative and started having MAJOUR problems with it once I got into LOO stuff. Like that Punisher short on Youtube: Dirty Laundry. Used to love it. Now it disturbs me to watch. I think I'm suppressing the parts of me that used to like negative s***. And I don't know how to handle it. Even stuff like Pantera songs I used to like, I have different feelings about now. And I guess the piece of me that enjoys them is still there, but the part of me that dislikes the negativity might be suppressing that aspect of myself.

I realized in my first night in the psyche ward that there was a disturbing part of me that wanted to fight people. I might have been scared and taking on the negative energy of people around me though. Once I got settled in, I didn't have that urge. Still, I decided that night, exploring MMA might be a good idea.

Play FPS games. Whichever fits your currently-existing morals to express your inclination to violent acts. To the degree it is compatible. Go shoot zombies in a zombie hunter game or something.

So I guess for anyone else who might be doing that, finding outlets and indulging them without so much suppression might be good. Just, how does one not overdo it?

Not overdoing is something that is specific to every other person. One has to find his/her own not-overdoing level and the way of doing it.
