my intrusive thoughts are so scary and i hate it so much. they are also just so annoying it makes me cry a lot. i don’t wanna live like this im only a child. (i am not suicidal btw im just upset)
It is exhausting, yours sounds very similar to mine. We often fear what we wish to not become. Im sure you've heard that before, and i dont want to reassure you because it can be only a temporary hit of relief but if you really are a kid dealing with this please understand there is something insids you so pure and gentle that you dont want to do this things and so you do everything in your power not to. But also please i beg you, learn to take your mistakes, because you will make them. Allow to make mistakes and sit in the discomfort of any possibility. If you did text the wrong person, sit with the uncertainty of did they care, did they not care, did they ignore it. Its the same as walking out in the street with the right of way. Chances are low of getting hit, but never zero. This takes alot of practice and im dealing w it myself everyday. Try and educate yourself as much as you can, watch youtube videos read books talk to people. Dont shut yourself out. You got this, we all do ❤️
@Anonymous thank you for this :) this is helpful
Would you mind sharing your intrusive thoughts
@Anonymous just like im so scared of hurting people and also i think like “oh what if i just sent that text to someone else instead of blah blah blah” and also other stuff it’s just exhausting
Recently I’ve been having scary intrusive thoughts about hurting myself or others. I’m so scared, what do I do?? I wouldn’t hurt a fly.
This may upset some people reading so here is just a warning that these are disturbing I don’t know what to do to make the bad thoughts stop. My mom recently had a baby, my little brother. I wasn’t exactly happy about this pregnancy, but I have nothing against my brother. He’s adorable and silly. Nothing against him. But I feel like these thoughts bug me because what if deep down I do resent him because I didn’t want my mom to have another kid? What if I did act on these things because I hate him? What if I just lose it and do something? It’s all so illogical, I know. Never would I ever want to do that. But there’s times I’m watching him for a few minutes for my mom and my brain just shows me an awful scene of me brutally hurting him or killing him. Or I’ll be holding him and my brain shows me a scene where I purposefully drop him or I just hurt him so badly. I’ll be walking near him and my brain tells me I’m going to stomp on him. It shows me such bad things. I have intrusive thoughts all the time, but this is different because there’s a semi good reason I “could” do it. That being, I wasn’t happy about the pregnancy. And it scares me. I’ve started crying because I was so scared it was going to happen. I have to back up away from him or sit down so there’s no way I can do anything. I feel horrible. I don’t want to hurt him. And I’m so scared I will. But I won’t. I’m hoping this makes sense to others who struggle with this. Because to anyone else who’s never gone through these things I’ll sound insane. And sound like a psychopath. Thanks for reading. Any help would be appreciated.
my therapist suggested that some of my less bad rocd intrusive thoughts are actually mine, and not intrusive. She ended up taking it back when she saw the alarm on my face and saw how panicked I got. I feel really freaking anxious. We were only talking about it because I mentioned a lot of doubt surrounding those less bad ones, but it only filled me with more doubt. I don’t want those thoughts to be mine. I really don’t. I feel scared and so discouraged after this session. I feel scared about the worst thoughts, what if those aren’t intrusive. I feel so much doubt.
