I’ve been thinking or ruminating about my intrusive thoughts on purpose. I was told this is a form of mental checking. it’s quite hard to control too!
I’ve done this before too. It’s like I want to check that it’s gone or if my tolerance has increased. I think it is me trying to reassure myself again by once checking how a thought makes me feel/or why it suddenly went away.
I can completely relate. Looking forward to figuring out how to fix it. I hope yall are able to get the answers your looking for that helps it all.
Yeah I do this all day.
for me, it's like there's two folders of my thoughts, 'main thoughts' and 'sub thoughts' and it's like a background voice of my background voice, you know? like so quiet and irrelevant but it's still here and i can try to ignore it but not fully and it feels like it's just really nasty, like it's warring with me, never shuts up and just keeps nagging me with those thoughts
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.
does anyone else constantly suffer from intrusive thoughts? it makes my head ache & i can barely think straight.
