Yes all the time but what I’ve learned is that if you feel distress at just the thought of liking your scary thoughts, that means it’s not real and you don’t like them because their making you sad/uncomfortable or worse feelings :(
You’re checking to make sure that you have the right feelings towards your thoughts. The two can be divorced of one another. For example. Imagine if a surgeon cried every time he operated on a patient. We need to recognize that feelings do not always have to match the thought/action.
Yes!
Yes

I struggle so bad with intrusive thoughts. They can be so bad that I'll cry because I KNOW that's not how I feel or want to do. (Too embarrassed to say what they're about) I'll constantly try to figure out why I have them, and constantly figure out what they mean, causing me to constantly circle around and around. I had to get on anxeity meds, which helped a little but the thoughts still happen. How do you help yourself with this? How do you know that you're just not some physcopath? 😅
Anyone ever have a conversation and think you said a intrusive thoughts out loud. Then you panic and go over and over the convo , reviewing it and remembering people's reactions,to see if they noticed your thoughts or read your lips? Sometimes it feels like I have to look away when talking as the thoughts could be shouted out if we make eye contact .such a powerful erge to say thoughts out load . . It's like the more you fight off the thoughts the louder they want to be . You can feel your self bubbling up inside . Then you get one and boom ,you think you've said it out load.
