I don’t know ir this happens to anyone else, but everytime I see a really violent or disgusting new in TV or something I can’t get it off my head in all day, or even week. I have this now, and is really bothering me because when I saw the new, I was painting my room, and I just can’t stop thinking that when I finish painting, I will be like: Oh, remember?, when you were painting you saw that awful thing on the news. It always happens to me, when I buy myself clothing and I have an intrusive thought I’m like: Oh, now everytime I wear this I’m going to remember... I’m looking for a way to distract myself for that thought, to relax, or just see things in a more positive way, any recommendations?:(

Theres been a recent situation thats been eating at my mind, it was 3 days ago i got a really nasty and worrying intrusive thought and at the time i couldnt help withdrawing and ruminating over it. But suddenly i cant stop thinking about it and its making things so hard because i dont want to. But then i start to question why i keep thinking about it and why it wont leave my head. I cant eat or focus on anything else im so scared right now. How do i let it pass, how can i let this kind of thought go or not pass judgement on it. It seems so impossible

This is really disgusting to even talk about but I been dealing with intrusive sexual thoughts and I get triggered for everything so I avoid the news and all that but my bf was telling me this disturbing story about how someone did something sexual to a dead body and I got an intrusive image of me doing doing that and I always avoid anything bad in the news because of that and I feel so disgusted then it kept getting worse and I got an intrusive thoughts of my bf dead body and I was like wtf why would I get an image of that then my mind started bringing up family member that past away and I’m scared of getting more intrusive thoughts I’m so scared I think something is wrong with me why I’m I thinking like I love my family and bf why I’m I having these disgusting and disturbing thoughts of them or anyone it keeps getting worse I would never even wanna do that or think of that please help

Can someone pls help me, my current intrusive thought is rlly severe. I saw a very disturbing & gruesome video recently, & I don't think it's real, it's a hoax by clearly a bad person, but now the image of it won't stop popping back into my mind. It is triggered by almost everything, & it is rlly annoying, like a song stuck in my head, except it's something gory & sick, so it's worse! For those curious, I will NOT be attaching the link because it's too traumatizing, trust me, I am doing u a favor, & curiosity is what killed the cat for me, figuratively speaking. It's like that thing with OCD where if u try not to think of a pink elephant or a brown bear, that is exactly what you're going to picture or think of almost instantaneously. But ontop of feeling absolutely repulsed, disgusted, & full of anxiety, I am also feeling guilty & ashamed for even having such thoughts around Christmas time especially, when things are suppose to be innocent. I regret watching it so much, & feel f'd up for the times I "rewatched" it, but only in an attempt to find some sort of evidence that it was fake, because I so desperately want it to be fake. But the amount of ppl in comments who say it's a prosthetic are less than the amount of ppl who argue that it is real, so I'm outnumbered, & now doubting my judgement, even though I did find some near-obvious signs of it being staged. Pls provide whatever advice u know, because it has already gone on way too long, & I can't have it constantly resurfacing from my memory just to torment me. Distractions (if & when they work), are so temporary.
