This was awhile back but I had to physically check where my teenage son was and would follow behind him if he was in the car of another person for fear of if I didn’t he would be in a accident.

If I take ibprofuen before I go to sleep I'm trying to kill myself so I go to sleep with bad headaches because otherwise I'll die. If I let a utensil touch the sink at work when I'm washing and it's clean and I set it aside I'm trying to kill someone.

What if I’m not asexual because of past experiences with stuff that happened to me when I was child that I didn’t know any better? What if I’m lying to myself and I’m a Sex addict and have had Sex with multiple people and I jerk off every day and I’m lying to myself and just can’t remember?

I am 100% sure I am alone in this. I recently started getting freaked out about pepperoni sticks. I dreamt about one in a sandwich that was curved like a cane at the end and it made me wake up screaming. Now, I can't think about pepperoni sticks without getting completely freaked out and getting chills.

@jeness5101 OH MY GOD!!!! Ok not pepperoni sticks… but when I was younger I used to get intrusive images of floating sticks at a certain angle (Like 45 degrees) and for some reason that terrified me. Things at that angle in general started to freak me out… didn’t realize this was ocd as a kid but now that I’m in therapy I had the epiphany. Also used to be afraid of cheese sticks. Just seeing one or people peeling one would give me a physical reaction

@Raerenae Wow, isn't it amazing how totally random, everyday things are able to freak us out? I just don't get it, but it happens! I'm always nervous about what the next completely normal thing is that will have that effect on me. I just can never tell!

I may have something like that. I think everyone out there will respond to me with mistreatment by default. That I will be the victim of overt abuse or selfish neglect. Based on all that, my mind conjures various scenarios that stop me from doing stuff I want to do

Due to me thinking it, my car is conntected to the hanging lamp. No everytime my car moves, the lamp moves (the latter causes me extreme anxiety). The only way to disconnect my car from the lamp, is by cutting this connection.

I’m having a very bad evening with my intrusive thoughts. I was doing really good dealing with them but tonight one hit me hard. I’ve been having a lot of different intrusive thoughts but I’ll have one occasionally about hurting my mom or my dog who I love and they’re the only family I have in my life. They’re my world. I was helping my mom put away the dishes and I had the big kitchen knife in my hand and my intrusive thought was you could stab your mom. And then my brain said I had a twitch in my hand and that meant I wanted to do it. Let me just say that I wouldn’t hurt a fly. I actually caught a fly in a glass and put it outside instead of killing it this evening before this intrusive thought happened. I’m such a gentle and compassionate and caring person and these thoughts instantly cause me to have a panic attack. And I have no one to talk to them about. I know they’re hard for my mom to hear and I don’t want to be any more of a burden than I already am. I do desperately want to tell her and have her reassure me that I’m not crazy or a psycho. Then my thoughts wander to if your hand did flinch could you be a psychopath. Is hurting someone in you. I know it’s not but I feel like my mind is out to get me and hurt me. I’m working so hard and I thought I was doing so good but I need to know why I have these thoughts. They’re not ok. I need someone to help me make sense of why. I know we aren’t supposed to ruminate but I shouldn’t have thoughts like this about people I love and care about the most in the world.

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.
