Wait so how do you know if you actually thought abt it or not..? Now I’m confused 😭 and scared bc now I can’t tell past my other intrusive thoughts💀 I thought them.. but then I felt bad for thinking them? But I also can’t tell that if I’ve just been so used to them its something that feels like it’s something I would actually think? Bc I’m so used to them now and before I could tell that these thoughts were not me and now I can’t seem to tell :( or if I’m just making excuses bc of this..

You have distress and anxiety from thoughts that are counter to who you are coming into your mind and getting stuck. Whether the anxiety comes before or after doesn’t matter.

Hey friend, I don’t think it really matters. They are all just thoughts. Thoughts don’t hurt anyone, whether we think them intentionally or not. Don’t over analyze this.

I wanted to ask if it is possible to purposely think of an intrusive thought and then shifting your mind instantly to something else? Is it still an intrusive thought if you have been thinking of it 'purposely' for a second? I dont know how else to explain it, but it felt like I was purposely thinking of it. Anyone else had similar experience what happened during intimate moments like masturbation I feel so ashamed cuz the thoughts are so bad they're either about family members children and stuff like that it feels like I think it I just want to know if I'm not alone I feel like a monster because it feels like I thought these things or like I did think these things and I don't know what to do I feel so ashamed and grossed I need help I just want to know if anyone had a similar experience to shed light on because I don't know I feel so isolated

sometimes my brain is thinking of every thought you could have all at once and it makes me insane and i keep telling myself in my head to shut up and i try to stop thinking but it doesn’t stop

are they truly intrusive thoughts or am i thinking and creating automatically graphic images that i dont want to think? i think it happens because it's too easy once you're anxious abt it. i dont enjoy it. i just saw a trigger and had a graphic disturbing se&ual image in my head.
