#actual intrusive thoughts

[partsofcinder]

I used to have horrible intrusive thoughts about hurting my sisters due to homophobes constantly talking about how lesbians are groomers and look at me now. Knowing intrusive thoughts don't make me a bad person, thought crime ain't real, and Jinxvi is pretty chill 👍👍👍👍

"I let my intrusive thoughts win"

HA HA OH DID YOU?

So you killed your pets? Had s e x with a family member? Screamed a slur in public transport? Scooped out your eye?

No? then S T F U PLEASE!

I hate when people make intrusive thoughts quirky and trendy when I’m here sobbing over wishing and imagining terrible death on fuckers who’ve hurt me in this stupid lifetime. Wishing death on their children and loved ones as if it’s their fault. I hate it. I want to fucking die and I hope they do first.

Can we please destigmatize intrusive thoughts?

Intrusive thoughts are not random impulses you get, such as randomly yelling or touching something random, random things you want to do without thinking about the long-term consequences, or actions that you can resist.

Intrusive thoughts are disturbing thoughts that you do not want; they're often thoughts about hurting people or other disturbing subjects. Often, they can be violent, sexual, and possibly illegal. They may not even be thoughts about actions, just a disturbing piece of information. They are called intrusive because they intrude on your regular thought process. You don't want them there but you can't get rid of them.

I wish more people were more educated about OCD. I don't even tell most of my friends I have it, because so many people think it means I like things neat, and how am I meant to tell them

"no, it actually means that my brain convinces me that if I don't place my cup down Just Right, my whole family will die"

or "no, it actually means that when I'm doing the washing up, I look down at the knife I'm cleaning and can't stop imagining pushing it straight into my chest".

People don't really want to talk to you after that, I find, and it's because people have no fucking idea that that is what OCD can actually be, not just being "a little annoyed because things aren't tidy".

The joke is that I'm afraid of myself

does anyone else get intrusive thoughts like in the form of daydreams? like sometimes ill get the kind most people talk about being like thoughts but a lot of the time what ends up happening is ill get vivid daydreams about doing horrid things and i hate it. im wondering if it manifests like that for anyone else

So I go to therapy and I talk about my problems yeah but I can’t actually talk about my problems because my intrusive thoughts are because of the stuff I watched as a kid and had no clue was bad and my brain programmed itself to remember those things so yeah I have intrusive thoughts about things I’d rather rip my eyes out with spoons than do. And the worst part is it’s not intrusive thoughts of me doing things it’s of things happening. And I hate it. I hate it I hate it I hate it. Stop it. Shut up.

tw intrusive thoughts about animal harm

me when i try to convince myself that my intrusive thoughts are temporary but i remember the reoccuring intrusive thought i had of crushing my dogs skull with my hands at 8 years old that got so bad i was terrified to even be near my sweet dog for months on end

Ok I’m having a slight mental breakdown about the sun the last couple days (idk what’s happening but every time the sun touches me I get these horrible intrusive thoughts like “I’m not wearing sunscreen, my skin is going to peel off my body, I’m going to get melanoma and die of sun cancer”) so to reassure myself and spread awareness here are the signs of melanoma and when to get it checked by a doctor:
