Same here. I just figure any thoughts that i don’t really want are intrusive thoughts. The ones that sound definite like “I am” or “but you are” are the WORST one cause I can deal with “what if” because then I’ll just be like yea what if- must be anxiety if I’m saying what if. But when I say “I am” that’s when the anxiety is really triggered. Intrusive thoughts are a bittttchh

Is it okay to use "I am" statements when intrusive thoughts come up? I'm afraid of telling myself the wrong things and it becoming a compulsion. If anyone has advice, I'd appreciate it! 🤍

for me, it's like there's two folders of my thoughts, 'main thoughts' and 'sub thoughts' and it's like a background voice of my background voice, you know? like so quiet and irrelevant but it's still here and i can try to ignore it but not fully and it feels like it's just really nasty, like it's warring with me, never shuts up and just keeps nagging me with those thoughts

I’m interested in hearing an example of intrusive thoughts you guys have. I’m having a tough time and could use support. Thank you!
