There is a great book that you should read. It’s called the Imp of the mind by Dr. Lee Baer. He talks about all kinds of intrusive thoughts but there is one of his patients that had the exact same experience as you. It may help to read how they treated her and how she got past it. Good luck and just know that if you enjoyed these thoughts they wouldn’t bother you. Stay strong mama

I have this. With my children. it got so bad that I wouldn't let them in the kitchen when I was cooking or doing dishes because I was worried I would stab them. I also would do things so I wasn't alone with them like pay my niece to babysit even though I was home because I felt like I couldn't trust myself. it drives me crazy I pray alot to counteract the thoughts I'm having but most days unfortunately I feel like some sort of monster because I have no one to talk to and I'm worried if I tell someone in my family they will take my children instead of understand that it's my thoughts not my actions.

I once had a similar thought with my family. I was in fear of harming them but my therapist told me it’s the opposite of what I want/feel. That I love my family so much that I’m afraid of anything happening to them and that your brain twists your anxiety and fears into the worst thought imaginable. Try and talk to someone about it because it helps to let it out and not keep it hidden. Maybe if you aren’t comfortable talking to family or friends about it yet try a therapist, a hotline, or even some reading. Overcoming Obsessive Thoughts by Christine Purdon is a very helpful book. You can get through this and know a thought is just a thought not an action!

Intrusive thoughts (21+ please)
I need advice for intrusive thoughts. I used to feel like I could handle them. They weren’t nearly as bad as the things that related to my actual life. But now, I’m suffering. I haven’t had a sexual experience in over a year that didn’t involve constant intrusive thoughts. Most are somehow related to kids and I keep chasing off the thoughts but it’s so bad. I know you’re supposed to ignore them but I don’t know how I can just ignore that and continue what I’m doing. But they’re coming on stronger. I had one earlier I could not get rid of just as things finished so the thought came on strongly just before my orgasm hit and now I feel absolutely disgusting. I hated the thought and I know it’s not me and it was not enjoyable but it still feels like I was getting off to it. I feel sick. I’m so fucking tired of these thoughts. They’re in my every day life too and it’s all the time. I just want it to stop but ignoring it feels so wrong. What should I do?

i’m so anxious right now.
i had thoughts of “planning” to harm my boyfriend. we have a trip coming up and my intrusive thoughts were telling me “nobody will know if you harm him all the way over there”, then my mind started rambling on like “everyone will know-“ and so on and so forth, it actually made me feel like i was contemplating on doing something and now it feels like im turning evil ): has anyone had thoughts like this?
