Brain: yeah yeah yeah ANYWAY u need to hold still and be so quiet and make no messes. just in case.
Me: In case of what?? Nobody is home.
Brain: JUST IN CASE. in case somebody gets mad at you.

#blue chatter#idk what to call this tbh#it’s not a flashback I don’t think#bc I’m aware that the memory I’m referencing isn’t current reality#I know logically that I’m safe and where I am and what my surroundings are#I know that my brain is wrong and this response isn’t rational#I have a probably trigger for what caused it (Abigail’s descriptions of emotional abuse by her ex in her video)#but it’s not *just* an intrusive thought bc intrusive thoughts aren’t usually referencing a memory or a rational response to any situation#intrusive thoughts are distressing bc they come out of nowhere and disturb the person thinking them#but I don’t just feel anxious or distressed#I feel anxious or distressed because at one point in time I did need to do those things#I did need to hide in my room and clean up my messes and not make any noise so I wouldn’t get noticed#among several other things#so like. if it’s more than an intrusive thought but less than a flashback what do u call it.#would love input from somebody who like. has experienced this also.
