Sitting in bed crying not to cry because I've had a bad day. My thoughts have gone from 0 to 1000 all because of a instagram video and I just had a horrible strong image of me hanging onto my bed for dear life as the police try and drag me away from my home and partner.
Everything will be okay:) picture yourself on a good day sitting with your partner on the couch watching your favorite show/snacks and having your favorite snacks. I know it won’t fix it but just remind yourself that you do have good days and it will be okay. Don’t do it all the the because it could turn into a compulsion. But just this once and occasionally as a gentle reminder. I should give myself the same advice. It’s so easy to get caught up in the spiral

@tig.chi I like that messaging, possible doesn’t mean probable. Thank you.
Even if it doesn’t feel like it, at some point the flare up will calm and you will feel better!

Hi Emmy45, I can relate to this fear. I hear you, and I feel your pain. You’re not alone here ❤️
Experiencing such a 'bad day' where thoughts spiral intensely after an unexpected trigger sounds incredibly difficult. The image you described sounds terrifying, and it's understandable why you'd feel overwhelmed. Managing such strong reactions can feel isolating, but support is out there.

i’m locked in my bathroom because I am so sad that I can’t stop my intrusive thoughts and ever since I watched the menendez brothers series i can’t stop having these intrusive thoughts that I would like to hurt my parents and that I would like to go to jail which is not true but my mind makes me think its totally true that I will not be happy if i’m not in jail I feel so sad I want to disappear
Does anyone else experience this lingering fear and anxiety because they think they’re capable of hurting someone? It’s killing me. I feel like I’m such a danger. I feel like I’m a predator. I feel like this awful person and I can’t shake it. I want to carry on with my day but I can’t. I don’t feel like I deserve it. I feel like I’ve done awful things. I can’t stop crying.
I've found myself writhing on the ground from intrusive thoughts of my past. I have bruises all over from me hitting myself. Every waking moment is a nightmare, I can't do anything. Can't let people be mean. But standing up for myself turns into cruelty. Cruelty turns into a loathing, and then I fear that everyone hates me. I wish I could die, and live again. I don't want to lose my life, but I can't live like this.
