Is this common

It’s because you love them so much. When you get an intrusive thought like that about someone you have a deep love for it scares you more and in turn makes it happen more towards them bc the threat response keeps going off bc it scares you so much.. vicious cycle but its bc you care!! Which is okay. Try to say “hmm maybe maybe not” and calm your body when it arises and slowly it will fade ❤️ Andddd ive dealt w existential and harm ocd so bad and all of those thoughts. Youre not alone they happen non stop when im highly anxious and become depersonalized/derealized.

I can totally relate to this! Sometimes it’s hard to overcome but I used to have thoughts like this. I used to just look at them and my mind would start racing like what if I hurt them and stuff, I knew that wasn’t the type of person I was but I just couldn’t help it because that’s what my intrusive thoughts where and I had to learn how to cope with them. If you would like some coping skills I can give you some, but I just want you to know you’re not alone! :)

I’m not sure if it is but lately I’ve been attaching myself to the whole aliens are real situation. I’m always really anxious especially in my own home thinking that one will show up or basically make me question everything’s existence as a whole. I haven’t thought about my family members being an alien but I only really feel this way at home. Where do you feel most anxious?
