Come on members, no one will be judged, its helpful to others and feels good to get it out
If this post might help someone feel like they aren’t losing it, they are okay and maybe calms them down when they realize they aren’t going insane, they are just experiencing side sensations/thoughts/symptoms of anxiety . if this helps someone - by reading the speedy fast , attention-seeking (i like to make my problems into jokes because well-without getting into an entire new subject for a post-dm me if you want to know the entirety of this but into jokes because it has less control over you if during the time you are having overwhelming intrusive thoughts which used to be way to often taking up most of my day, it helps if you picture them as these little eency like snobby ugly rich trolls in your brain. Or use teletubbies just dress them up and give them names like omg Clarissa nobody cares that you could literally take that knife and stab it into your arm and you’d die like you never actually do it Clarissa you’re just effing weird and well also somewhat normal Bc you’d be surprised how many supposed what most call “normal” people have the same thoughts) no idea if you could follow that. If you want me to write a post on how i incorporate humor into my recovery like every aspect and how it works just DM me if your me interested. It reallllt helped me and a lot of well not a lot that i know of but it def really helped a few people that were coming to me for help and they are still doing it.
My intrusive thoughts have always tried to ruin my night of sleep , or a day when i have lots to do they selfishly stomp on into my brain and have left me with thoughts such as:
I am never going to live the way i want. I’ll never have friends because of this. How can i really get honest with people aboutnmy issues? I’ll never finish this task i might as well quit. Do you know how easy it would be for me to kill myself right now? So easy. Like i could do so many things that would end my life now. Wait no i can’t i don’t want to do that there’s too much i have to do with my life. I need to help people. How am i going to do that if I’m not better yet? I hate my life why am i alive this isn’t fair i work hard everyday to live the best life i can live but i can’t stay home alone today? I feel so fucking selfish am i ever going to call the bank? Is it bad i keep obsessing about me dying? What about is it bad that everything i walk past i picture myself killing myself with it? I need help. Do i need help? Am i caPable? Am i able to do this alone? I need to work out more and get a better schedule wait i forgot to call smc today or hertz or the bank or the hotel how am i ever going to get my money back. Everyone hates me i can tell i csnt ask for help fuck my life
That was a literal page in my journal with the title of “SHUT UP BRAIN I NEED SLEEP!” I will write you f***ERS down so i know i will have you to worry about tomorrow so take a break and let me sleep” verbatim but it was all caps.
Not sure really if these are intrusive but they weren’t invited in and i didn’t want to be thinking them so there it is. Hahah
Sending positive healing vibes everybody’s way

Mine say you’ll lose everything, be alone, you’ve ruined your sons life, you’ll lose another job. Your useless, you’d be better off dead, your crazy.
That sucks. Mine is about harming that people I love which I will nevee ever do. God knows how I love my family. I hope you find your peace of mind soon. It does get better. I think my brain just got used to all these negative thoughts that I don’t react to them with as much anxiety as before.
When my son was a baby I’d get images of him and me getting hit by a car crossing the road or yes harming people. They were awful just awful. I’ve had that as an adult but I’ve never done anything. Depending on the thoughts depends how I react. After a while I just get sick of them and I think about positive things. The worst thing at the minute is they stop me sleeping then I just cry the next day. I also have thyroid issues which isn’t helping me x wishing you happy thoughts to you both x
are you on medication?
Nope. I am able to handle these thoughts well now.
that's so good to hear! my thoughts are the same 😔. I am trying to lower dose and come off meds now. I pray I can manage without it also!
