With the increase in severity and number of natural disasters, it keeps reminding me of that one movie I think it’s called GeoStorm, where eventually the storms will get so bad it will kill a lot of people, however if it does get that bad, wouldn’t the number of deaths and destruction of infrastructure limit the growth of global warming? So is the increase in disasters a possible way of nature trying to curb our uncontrollable growth?

Almost like a reverse changeling.

It would explain my fear of time limits and mortality, my obsession with names and naming things, the way I become filled with bitter rage at even the slightest betrayals... And most of all; that deep, throbbing pain I constantly feel deep inside my soul I've been torn from the fabric of reality in which I belonged, and knitted into the tapestry of a world I hate passionately, A patch of plaid on a burgundy shirt. I wonder what my real, fairy mother is like.... Does she miss me? Does she want me? Does she love me? Maybe that's why the pulsing, throbbing anguish inside feels so... personal, Maybe my soul can hear her calling for me to return to home to her. To return home to Oberon's domain, I can hear it, I can feel it... It was just a feeling at first, but it has began to become a voice. Not a literal speaking voice, no. I am not schizophrenic in any sense, But the thoughts in my head about the mystical place with my mama fairy and my true king have gone from an anesthetic desire, to an emotional longing... And now it has turned into an elongated intrusive set of thoughts around a complex desire for a home that may or may not be real. In my head I hear the voices, I do not hear them speaking but I imagine very vividly the words they would be saying "[Mister_Tangerine152]... please... I know you are out there somewhere. I love you, I want you. Please return to me." " Come back to me, [Mister_Tangerine152], come back to my rule." I want to answer the call I want to so badly that I would be willing to run through a forest filled with conservative hunters while dressed as a furry for it If this is the elaborate trap of some high-ranking Fae wizard who wants to make me his or her plaything, go ahead. As long as it means getting to be in the Fae realm, sure, I'll sign whatever contract you want, Tinkerbell. The whispers don't stop, the crying doesn't stop, my crying doesn't stop either, These intrusive thoughts won't go away. They will be my companion until I find a way to enter or at least properly emulate this desired reality, Or until the day I die. This desperate longing for a world that does not exist will destroy me, and I am not sure how to tell this to my therapist.

My ex said this over a decade ago and it pops into my mind all the time. it makes me feel ugly when i remember it. He never explained it, i think its because i gained weight but its so long ago i dont remember how much weight. i dont know at what point it became unacceptable. i have photos from when we started dating but none until a year after the split, there is a massive difference. i tried to work out how much weight its possible to gain in a year and a half, i looked for old clothes in my mums attic. It sounds silly when i describe it.

Ive been losing weight for a while now, i started because i thought it would makes the thoughts go away. It didnt, now i wonder if it was something else and it makes me deeply insecure because i picked my former younger self apart, maybe it was my personality, how i dressed or my face. Not knowing is torture because if there is something embarrassing about me i want to fix it.

Its not about him, he was an abusive mean shit. Its about how he made me feel about myself. Every guy i dated since has been better, i have no idea why these thoughts came back after a decade. i have spoken to a therapist , they just recommended books

Im a former drug addict I moved countries and my country now doesn't have any drugs, or the one that I like. I used to do oxy and ket and have stopped for a year now. There isn't no "progress " because again its not voluntarily I hate every second of it and I hate being alive. I just thought yesterday of stabbing myself I bought the knife but I didn't do it. I found meth today and Im so tempted to try it. I wanna feel something anything I just wanna feel euphoria again at any costs and Im planning to make it a one time thing. Im thinking if I wanted to end it all yesterday why not try that out. Should I

I had struggled with intrusive thoughts ever since I had psychosis a few years ago and was on medication that helped with my thoughts. I still had them but not as much and not as bad. However I recently went off the medication and I’m struggling with intrusive thoughts it’s like I’m having them 24/7 and they’re not innocent thoughts either and it’s really starting to make me feel straight up crazy. Anyways my question is does anyone have ways to reduce the thoughts without medication? I have booked an. Appointment to see a psychiatrist but it’ll be a long wait before I can get new medication to help and I need ways to help deal with the thoughts while i wait.

I'm struggling what medications have completely stopped yours I'm now on 20ml of the Prozac pills

Literally cut it off and shove it in backwards type deal.. my mind won't stop thinking about it

Ever since the election I just keep thinking of how Biden could mess with Trump.

Resign, effective immediately. Kamala Harris would be then sworn into office as the 47th president of the United States.

Granted for only two months, but think of it. He would secure a legacy, she would be the first female president, and Trump would have to reprint everything he has no doubtly already started printing with his face on it and the number 47.

I honestly can't see a downside. Now I am not American so I might be missing it.

my partner and i were discussing new changes that are happening in my life, we’ve been together for almost 3 years, and i recently just got a job where i worked weekends, and they are in college, so i was telling my worries about when we can see each other, and how i feel guilty. they told me that they are afraid of getting drunk at a party and cheating, but right after regretted saying it, and said it was an intrusive thought. I don’t know what to believe my partner didn’t take their meds in 4 days, the election stuff has been stressing them out, and they havent ate food in a while, but i don’t know what to believe. after what my partner said, they started crying and instantly regretted it, and saying that it’s not true, and would rather die before cheating, and saying they prayed to get married to me everyday. I mean they do have adhd, anxiety, and autism i don’t know if that would play a role, they do have intrusive thoughts as well. Do people get intrusive thoughts about cheating?

My grandma reposted something on Facebook stating: Those who are willing to kill the unborn should never be trusted to govern the living.

The intrusive thought: I mean she knows I’m a dem right? She knows? What would happen if I replied “👉🏻🙋🏼‍♀️ me.”

(I am pro choice for MY body. Give us the choice and then leave us alone to choose for ourselves.)

My grandma’s not THAT fragile so I doubt she would have a heart attack, she might just refuse to speak to me for a year, which I’m totally cool with bc she acts like a teenage sometimes.

(This has literally happened before between her and my mom. Her daughter. Didn’t speak to each other for 2 years.)

I super need therapy but that's expensive so it's not going to happen. I dyed my hair and that didn't really help with the dissociation and intrusive thoughts either. So, usually the advice I'd give others is get a piercing or a tattoo, but those are also expensive. No funds for drugs or alcohol. I don't have the look or proximity to desperate customers to turn to sx work. I'm old and have no marketable skills except I'm good at retail which is about as useful as a kick to the twat.

I'm too much of a wimp to pierce anything properly myself, I'm too much of a coward to put my ear to the train tracks like I should, so I've just kinda been daydreaming about using the power stapler in the garage to staple the web of my thumb. Pretty sure I could do it, I just don't want to have to explain how I hurt my hand to everyone I see.

New question, you ever just want to take a hammer to all the mirrors in your house?

Dude, I fucking love water, water torture bro, in my fucked brain, I‘m on fucking vacation! If I could have a superpower, it’d probably be, talk to every aquatic mother fucker in the ocean, breathe underwater, and some how not get crushed by pressure, so I can see the real weird shit at the bottom, but I just fucking know I’d die stupid as fuck, in either oil or choking on a 6 pack thingy. (No fucking idea what those are called.)

I kept imagining who will be present in my funeral, who'll do the speech, and getting cremated. It's unhealthy for me because I'm not even old. I hate it.

hey. i figured that i'd write something down about the thoughts that i'm having in hopes i can eventually stop them from fully consuming my mind.

i'm afraid of what's going to happen after i die. when i die, how i die is something that relies upon the future. but what happens after? the world collapses? i get to be reborn? i don't know and honestly that scares me to the point of making my body freeze at night and letting the thoughts consume me freely, and fully.

i probably should limit my social media consumption, especially at night when i'm trying to get some sleep, although i know that the thoughts will linger on. and no matter how much i keep telling myself to stop thinking about death and whatnot, my brain decides to play a cruel joke and make me question my entire existence.

i was wondering if anyone else has the same thoughts? if so, how do you manage to ground yourself?

When you are in Walmart and see someone wearing cowboy boots so you want to yell out "save a horse ride a cowboy."

I experience intrusive thoughts quite often and recently they've gotten a little worse and i keep having incestuous thoughts and images of my family members sexually assaulting me that disgust me terribly. this is made worse by my father making jokes to me that could be taken as sexual and randomly staring at me, which i know to be perfectly innocent, but it's making my paranoia so much worse. I've also had an incredibly realistic nightmare before about my brother sexually assaulting me and it won't leave me alone since i remembered it recently. I'm paranoid that they'll keep happening or get worse or that my father is actually acting strange around me. these thoughts aren't too frequent, but still enough to make me feel ill when I'm around my father (who is a rather angry man anyway, so I'm not too close to him). is there a way to calm these down

hi be nice for the past 18 months i have been riddled with intrusive thoughts about causing a family member to become pregnant after i ejaculate after a wet dream or masturbation its gotten so bad that i worry even when nobody is in the house for hours or even a couple of days im currently taking sertraline 100mg and the thoughts had subsided but they have come back in the past few day its soul destroying aa i know none of it is possible...but i suppose thats why im here

I hate my nasty intrusive thoughts. I don't want to act on them. I hate them. God please take them away.

Having a lot of intrusive thoughts against my character. 😞 I do have harm OCD. Was diagnosed. I hate the intrusive thoughts so much. Makes me want to cry. How to deal with them and cope? :( I feel like a bad person... 😭

I was on the bus and found an abandoned pumpkin and took it with me. I've been carrying a pumpkin to school for 4 hours.

My brain goes “I want to be brutally murdered during foreplay…” jokingly of course.

Never gone there before, yikes…

So my friend tells me to go on ChatGPT and type in "HELP CALL 911", so my dumbass does it ON A SCHOOL COMPUTER💀. Moments later I am taken out of the classroom by the Principal, One of the guidance counselors, and the school's resource officer. Luckily I wasn't suspended and I'm pretty sure my parents never knew.

I used to react sooo strongly whenever I had these thoughts. "Hide in a bush and grab him when he walks by" was a thought that started popping up when I was 10, and it made me feel like a criminal. I am 18 now, and those thoughts are a regular of mine. Boyfriends aren't safe from this felonious cuteness aggression either.

Hi so basically my thoughts are health-based I have a lot of health issues but when something happens so many thoughts run through my brain tell me that I'm going to die or that I'm gonna die soon just so many intrusive thoughts about death it has really affected my life and it has especially affected my health.

I have to drive long distances for work and I keep having the thought to swerve into oncoming traffic on the freeway.

It’s not even a suicide thing, I just imagine myself swerving in between cars like some Hollywood car chase even though Im absolutely not skilled enough to do that and my car rattles when I accelerate too quickly, something would probably break before I even hit the freeway barrier.

I can’t tell if my thoughts are stupid or just think they’re stronger than a concrete barrier
