Even when I’m not having Intrusive thoughts sometimes I could look at someone and suddenly get this horrible feeling that I would like the feeling of acting on that intrusive thought about them and it feels so real and then I start imagining things and ruminating to check and it feels like I get shudders and don’t like it but I still don’t believe myself, there also seems to be something connected to vulnerability, when I see someone who seems vulnerable, even someone shorter or old or very young or an animal it feels like the thoughts and feelings coming up and feel like I would ‘like the feeling’ and now I’m worried it feels like I like it because they are weaker than me and I’m evil. I was in a shop today, not thinking about any thoughts and this woman walked past me and she was shorter and older than me and I suddenly got this feeling that I would like the feeling of ‘smothering her’ and then I was thinking why did it feel like that what is that feeling? Is it anxiety that’s making it feel like that? And then I got home and picked up my cat to show him to my mum so she can say hello to him and (my cat only has one eye as well and he’s quite skinny and old) and while holding him all of a sudden I got a feeling like I would like the feeling of smothering him and then i was thinking is it because he’s got one eye and is more vulnerable and then I’m thinking wait why would it feel like I like it because he’s more vulnerable and has one eye? And then I’m worrying and imagining things and today I was getting ready in front of the mirror and suddenly had an intrusive thought about my mum and then started thinking would I actually do that or imagine I did and because before it’s felt like I ‘know how it feels to smother someone and like the feeling of stoping them from breathing by squashing them with the pillow) sorry graphic, I don’t understand why it’s felt like that, but then I started imagining the thoughts about my mum and wondering if it would feel like I like the feeling of doing that and now I’m worrying if that feeling came up again would I actually be evil? Because in those moments it always feels like something bad is about to happen or that I just dodged a bullet? Especially now that these thoughts are backed up with this feeling of ‘liking the feeling of imagining doing that’ it feels so real and I don’t know what to do, I mean jsut last night I was crying because I was thinking about how I’m noticing people around me getting older and worrying about everyone dying and then this morning it feels really real that I would do that and like the feeling of doing that and the other thing is, I know I don’t want to do that but since this feeling came about of liking the feeling im worried that one day in the moment I will actually do it because it will feel like I like the feeling and I won’t be thinking clearly I’m worried I don’t want to be evil but say I’m irrational 😞 when I’m angry I can be a bit irrational and throw things and say horrible things so say I’m not bad but if it’s actually true that I like the feeling of doing that then one day I actually will and then my heads suggesting to me ‘you wouldn’t be able to be around a baby or kid because you like the feeling and would be a danger and might do it since it feels like you like it’ how can I even be thinking that it feels like i ‘like the feeling’ ?? If I’m not bad how is that possible? That I could be the thinking or feeling that way please help
