Just a little reminder that intrusive thoughts are literally like, not anything for or against a person's morals or character or trustworthiness or anything.

It is like finding out somebody has tinnitus and thinking they're awful for hearing the noise.

Multiple people have had thoughts of killing me and here I am living.

Thoughts in general don't have any repercussions on anything by themselves. They don't tell you this but you are fully allowed to think in circles about the most vile problematic unsavoury topics, and nothing happens.

#yknow there's definitely reasons to try move your thoughts away from things that are personally triggeringand such #but like #if the reason your thoughts are making you miserable is cause you think you're 'wrong' for even having them #you're not and it's just fine and doesn't have any impact on anything #*thinks about murder* the world remains unchanged #*thinks about flying* the world remains unchanged #It's literally fine #and intrusive thoughts obvs r gonna make u feel p bad #cause they tend to focus on things that you personally are gonna be made uncomfortable by #but they're literally nothing that impacts anyone else!!!#like. I stand beside my friend who frequently gets very severe intrusive thoughts about harming people around thek #And I'm literally just as safe as if i was standing beside anyone else #cause it's just thoughts #they can't reach me #idk if this is helpful to anyone #i always hope it will be but #yknow!
