i feel like this is a never ending cycle. my thoughts are starting to scare me even more. does anyone else’s thoughts try to give them ideas or in a way your mind is trying to convince you of literally everything to act on your thoughts??

Yes that happens to me to and it's like I shake the thought away and say to myself "No, I wouldn't that, we can't do that, that's wrong". That doesn't really help cuz it doesn't help the thought(s) go away, just makes me focus on them more and then before I know it, its the only thing occupying my mind

@ekppppp I get those too and when it gets to that point I try to find something to distract me. Usually I can binge watch a reallt long tv show and I'll be so fixated on that, the thoughts kinda quiet down

@picklemorty yes it’s very manipulating and seems very real even sometimes compulsions don’t work, so you just have to sit with the uncertainty and creates a lot of discomfort

i’m so anxious right now.

i had thoughts of “planning” to harm my boyfriend. we have a trip coming up and my intrusive thoughts were telling me “nobody will know if you harm him all the way over there”, then my mind started rambling on like “everyone will know-“ and so on and so forth, it actually made me feel like i was contemplating on doing something and now it feels like im turning evil ): has anyone had thoughts like this?

Intrusive thoughts & Panic

Hello does anyone get such severe panic and anxiety that comes along with bad intrusive thoughts. Then the thoughts give you more panic because you feel you may act on them? Then I worry I’m going crazy, can anyone relate? Thank for reading
