Need some guidance… ⬇️ Anyone else ever have Intrusive thoughts about your significant others friend sexually, while they’re over?

What tools do you guys use for situations like this? -Thanks for reading…

If I was a Billionaire I would pay for a ticket to space...But if I’m beating it; I’m beating it to all the races at the same time or I’m I beating it to the water since the earth is made out of 70 percent of water..Or does beating it to the stars and planets make you Astronomically sexual ?

Hi, I have Generalized Anxiety Disorder. I've noticed recently that I can do or say something, think what feels like an intrusive thought while I do or say it, and then become convinced that that intrusive thought was actually my motivation for saying the thing. Case in point: I can make a joke to my girlfriend, think an intrusive thought about her while I'm making the joke, and then obsessively worry about my true intentions behind making the joke. Has anybody else experienced this?

I keep getting these scary thoughts that are like “you’re gonna have to learn one way or another and life will destroy you until you do”… or imagining myself going through something horrific in the future where I have no control over anything in my life and lose it all. But I feel like I’m already working hard on growth and doing the right things and making progress. These thoughts fill me with existential fear and anxiety and make me feel like I’m doing something wrong. Is this paranoia? Just plain old existential anxiety? If anyone has had these types of thoughts how did you challenge or deal with them (besides freezing up or overworking yourself)?

I (female 16 just turned), just got a new nose piercing for my birthday, and all I can think is about is how to

(A. Rip it out my nose

(B. Knee myself in it very far back

(C. Continuing to pick at it

(D. Or just try to pull it out

Now, I don't want to get rid of it, I love it. It's just the thoughts of tryin to make a new battle scar with it.

Did anyone else go through this when they got their first piercing or is it just me?😅

hi, i was hoping to find some comfort in knowing i'm not insane here lol . im an 18 year old ftm guy and ive been struggling heavily with intrusive sexual and generally violent thoughts for the past 5 years of my life. every day when i'm talking to my family or my friends, even my youngest sister, there are thoughts there. they tell me to assault her, or that me being kind to her means im a degenerate or a pedophile or a predator. she loves me so much and she doesnt understand why i start shaking whenever i'm alone with her. i feel so fucking disgusting and guilty and i almost vomit whenever i think about it because i adore her i love her so much and i never used to think this way. my childhood completely fucked me over and is making me think i'm a rapist and a horrible person.

and these thoughts like to follow me wherever i go. whenever i get angry, even emotional in general, i get these horrible violent impulses and urges, including but not limited to:
-burning down my house with everybody inside
-slitting my family's throats with knives while they sleep
-committing graphic incest
-beastiality and zoophilia
-terrorism and bombings
-pedophilia
-shooting up my school or college campus
-animal, child and general abuse

for some background? i guess?: i have childhood trauma relating to grooming and sexual assault and violence. a very basic run down is that when i was 13 years old until i was 15, i was repeatedly sexually assaulted by a then-17 year old boy every day on the train home from school and after. this continued until he moved away and i have never been able to find peace or get justice for what he did to me and probably many others. i had also previously been groomed into sending explicit content of myself online at 11-12 years of age.

i am so scared, paranoid and anxious at every turn and i am genuinely at my wit's end. i don't know how much more of this i can take or if i can even seek help without being labeled as a predator.

HOW THE FUCK would i even bring this up to my psych. hey! i have urges of wanting to fuck children and commit mass murder! but not really! my brain just thinks i do! lol! please don't call the police!

What is your input on it ? Insights , thoughts , ideas ?

Trying to get a better look at what others overstand about this particular read.

I'm having so many sexually intrusive thoughts about my little brother, mom, dog... I keep trying mindfulness, but it keeps replacing itself with something else. I keep trying to confront the main source, but even then it keeps on going. I feel lost. Please send help. I cried, I've been trying to tell myself they're just thoughts, but they won't stop

Avoid dipping cookies in pickle juice

Every time I eat beef or pork I tend to unconsciously imagine that I'm eating human meat instead, I have absolutely zero clue why, but it definitely makes the food unappetizing after. I don't know maybe its curiosity? can I legally try it somehow to maybe stop the recurring thoughts?

Do not read if eating:

Does anyone else have the grossest thoughts while eating. Like, I'm eating an apple pie and I imagine the slimy apple parts going down my throat as puke, shit, pubic hair, or something extremely gross. I hate these types of thoughts in particular because I feel bad when I eat something someone else made and my face scrunches up like it's gross. Anyone relate?

Does anyone ever get the urge to make a fake LinkedIn account and write comments on smarmy posts? I’d love to tell some mid level manager “whoop die fucking dooooo!” Or “you’ve got some shit on your nose there buddy” any time they post some corporate jargon filled self serving nonsense…

So English isn’t my first language so I’m sorry. I will get to point straight. At first when my mom diagnosed with cancer, everything was normal. We were usually eating dinner at my grandma. Sometimes I was getting a little disgusted by food but it was controllable.(I am really disgusted by hair when eating and she is old and it was not a really big problem then) But as time went by we weren’t able to eat at home cause my mom couldn’t cook anymore and my dad wasn’t really into it. I was trying my best to help but I was being at school when it’s time for cooking the dinner. As I said I thought everything was normal until now cause I can’t eat any food rn. For like 1 or 2 months I get really really disgusted by any type of food even the ones in markets.(like snacks). When I think of food or see any food my brain is showing me really disgusting scenarios about how that food was being cooked.(for example someone dipped their hair in my food and plate but I’m thinking so much worse even tho I don’t want to) but I’m serious they are really disgusting and I can’t even control it for 2 months. I lost so much weight cause even I force myself to eat my brain tells me to v0mit it because it was made disgusting. No matter who cooked the food or even its packaged food I’m getting really disgusted by it. As I said I was always getting disgusted by hair when eating like everyone but it was never at this point. And I don’t blame my mom,grandma or who cooked it , I just can’t eat cause my mind is telling me not to. Do you think I should get help or am I being childish. My dad blames me for being selfish and childish for not eating their food but I swear I’m not disgusted by them I am disgusted by food. And some other addictions? Started to show up. (Like I don’t feel clean unless washing my hands twice for 1 minute, it feels like I am holding disgusting things in my hands and they don’t go unless I wash them for a long time, again and again; I can’t enter some places if I think they are dirty(even everyone tells me that is clean I feel like I can d13 if I enter,touch,sit on there or even breathing bad air) I hope you understand, sorry for my English again I tried my best please give me some advice.

These thoughts I have worry me a lot, make me sick in the stomach and ruin my mood, it started to happenwhen I broke off my friendship with my ex I think, if thats even useful? I'm worried that what of it's who I am and I question why do I have these thoughts so randomly? I just want it to go away, if there's any advice you can give, I'll appreciate it a lot

It's 5 in the morning in EST here. I've been up for 3 hours already and have to work today. Having a ton of really violent and sexual intrusive thoughts, and my medication has a side effect of vivid dreams. So the thoughts are way more real than I'd like them to be.

What are your traumatic thoughts keeping you up at night?

Some nights when I’m trying to fall asleep I get the most annoying intrusive thoughts and feelings. They circle around my relationship- am I with the right person, am I doing what I should be, why am I thinking this, etc. I’m trying not to take these thoughts too seriously bc ik they will sabotage a good thing that I have but I can’t help but to ruminate.

WHENEVER YOU NEEEEEEEDDD SOMEBODY

I'LL BRING MY LOVE TO YOOUUUUUU

YOU DON'T HAVE TO SAY YOU LOVE ME

I JUST WANNA BE WITH YOUUUUU

Am I the only one who, when I push away an intrusive thought, starts to “celebrate” or clench my fist or tell myself that I am “okay” and that it comforts me to know that these thoughts are not true? Even if it only lasts a few seconds.

From Alexender, to Gengish to Qin Shi Hunag, Ceaser, Atilla, Timur and basically everyone who commited to war as a profession. This also counts to basically all soldier in every war being just the worst beacuse they were at the worst circumstance. I still love history despite this unfortuante truth all these 'heroes' are not good people by bascially any moral system even some of their own.

throw away account because i dont feel comfortable talking about this otherwise.
i also dont know where to even talk about this as well, i tried posting on r/adhd but it got shadow removed

im, 22 M.
diagnosed with adhd when i was 5-7

basically i have this problem with intrusive thoughts and hyperfixation on specific characters, one of these characters is braixen. i love braixen quite a lot but i keep getting angry/depressed whenever people depicts them as male, and when the depiction of the character is also nsfw witch is worse since my brain creates intrusive thoughts and constantly throws the art back in my face witch then infuriates me even more and builds anger that effects me for a long time since i cant get it to stop. this anger effects how i work since im trying to organize and get rid of these thoughts while also trying to figure out what im doing/trying to remember what i was doing witch causes by brain to overload and causes me to start lashing out

additionally i have plenty of other thoughts THAT HAVE EFFECTED ME FOR YEARS, "im not selling my soul" is one that has kept me awake a few nights because i couldn't stop thinking about it and it and a few other thoughts can repeat ENDLESSLY for days on end, these thoughts causes a shit ton of anxiety.

i have literally punched myself in the head several times when these things are happening BECUSE MY BRAIN WONT SHUT THE FUCK UP AND WONT STOP SHOWING ME SHIT I DONT WANT TO SEE OR THINK ABOUT.

i tried googling ways to help but nothing has been helpful additionally i seen that this is more common for those with ocd rather then adhd but i know there is a lot of overlap when it comes to these things so idk.

anyone else struggle with this kind of thing and if you do how do you deal with

Is it normal to look at people you hate at school and picture yourself torturing them for like fifteen minutes? It's honestly really fun and I don't see any harm in and and it makes me feel better but does anyone else do it too?

FYI: this question has nothing to do with my experience. I have intrusive thought and this never happened to me. I just happened to stumble across a post that talks abt this, and wanted to ask you. Does intrusive thoughts make you blush? Does it happen Even though you didnt enjoy the thought? Does it make you feel… idk bad ( you shouldn’t btw, intrusive thoughts DONT define you )?

Does it happen to people with intrusive thoughts of OCD? If so, what do you do?

It's so hard. It's so hard to struggle alone. It's even harder knowing I cannot get reassurance. I just can't. I just have to sort my way out.

But without reassurance, I will feel the shame, and then I can't do that. Not saying it's good to enable people at all, I just crave reassurance so badly but it sucks knowing I want something that literally enables my cycle.

Everything is a compulsion. You can't respond to the thoughts. You can't have somebody reassure you. You can't do anything. Because it will all be a compulsion.

This all sucks. You just have to accept the hellhole you are in to overcome it. God damn it.

Hi, for the past few days I've been having intrusive thoughts about a person which began out of the blue. It gets bad when im not distracted and trying to sleep. I also have anxiety (not officially diagnosed) so i really cant sleep at all when i get these thoughts and i sometimes get anxious when i see the person now because of this. I just cry sometimes and the thoughts go away for a minute or two but then comes back. I feel like i have OCD because i often fixate on things that gives me anxiety and i just keep thinking of them, again I'm not officially diagnosed.

I apologise if this comes across as really incoherent, just looking for any sort of help anyone can provide. Thanks
