Nightmares
I had dreams about my intrusive thoughts and I’m disgusted because I was thinking my dreams mean something. Trying to tell me this defines who I am?

Like thoughts, we can't control our dreams. We can change our response to them. Allow it to be what it is, don't assign a meaning to it, don't hyper focus on it. These things do not define us. Allow the uncertainty, learn to live with the uncertainty, even though we don't like it. Allow it to come, and allow it to go. Hope you had a Happy new year!
I think that I have something dark and perverse in me, when I can imagine and feel such sensations without feeling disgust and panic...
I’ve always struggled with maladaptive daydreaming I’ve stopped but I have harm ocd and my brain would hook onto a true crime story and I’d pretend to be a family member/loved one/victim of a k*ller and would make up elaborate stories abt it. That feels so disgusting I’m so scared this shows in a horrible person doesn’t it? And now my brain is telling me I have found k*llers attractive in the past I don’t think I ever did but what if I did I’m scared
I was trying to sleep in an aunt house and I’m suffering from nightmares or when I take naps or sleep I dream horrible things, and I took a little nap and I was about to start having a nightmare and I woke up. There’s a person that lives here and he’s not even here but I was about to have a dream with him it’s so scary he’s not even my family member or anything. And like it’s a delicate topic. But it’s the feeling that I can’t even sleep sometimes without dreaming this things that are so scary . And the groinal responses are about to kill me ! This is truly destroying my life I don’t know what to do I don’t want to be like this but I’m too tired to stay awake and too tired to sleep
