I don’t know if this relates but When my thoughts become really strong I feel like my brain is being hijacked and I’m losing control over myself and it’s scary. I typically try and distract myself by watching something funny either on tv or on YouTube or even a funny or interesting podcast. Or distract myself by talking to someone I know about something completely random or about their life. I’ve been trying to tell myself that I’ve made it this far and I’m doing the best I can. Your thoughts do not define who you are you are good a valuable person. also I’m willing to listen if you need someone to talk to sometimes facing it head on and getting some compassion from someone in the midst of it is the best thing as well.

Thankyou so much but it is hard when you get thoughts out of nowhere and you don’t even know if they make you anxious or not cause you’re so torn between denial and reality and they thoughts earlier felt forced and intrusive and but now suddenly what if they start feeling natural what then cause thats like evidence for the lie that i might be living?!?

It feels like my life is about to end
No I’m not attempting or anything. I am just really in a depressive state as of now. I am so convinced that my fear is real you don’t even know. I don’t know what to do. I just want to go to sleep and wake up in a reality where this is all gone. But honestly I don’t know if that would change anything. I’m scared that this is who I was all along, and I’ve just been delaying what I will eventually become. I don’t want to do ANYTHING that my intrusive thoughts say AT ALL. But honestly that doesn’t mean anything anymore. I’m so convinced of the thought “you’ve been doing it this whole time without realizing it.” I think it’s true now. I feel incredibly stuck. I just want to be hugged :(

How do you handle uncertainty
How do you guys handle uncertainty? I keep having so many what if thoughts and I feel so bad. The worst ones are what if I act on my intrusive thoughts or actually want them and I can’t tell if they’re me or not. It just feels so real and at this point I don’t even know if they’re intrusive thoughts anymore. I just want to not be a bad person and not feel like this anymore.
