Yeah I’m pretty sure it’s the purely obsessive type without any compulsions.
I was just about to suggest this to you in your other thread! I used to have terrible intrusive thoughts. I mostly have them under control now.
How do you become a moderator?
I have intrusive thoughts when I’m left alone.
I was asked by szadmin because I already spent a lot of time on here helping out. I had been a member for about two years beforehand. I wouldn’t recommend it. It’s a lot of work for very little payoff, and every other week somebody calls me a nazi. I enjoy it, though.
Haha I bet. You have the power though!!! >:D
oh evil smiley face you let me down
You’re probably looking for this one
There it is. I’ll try harder next time
I have intrusive thoughts.
I actually feel a little happy now that i know what on earth is going on!
First time I’ve felt relief in a while, now to tackle the problem head on!
Do you allow them to bother you? Because I’ve been letting mine bother me, apparently if you expose yourself to the anxiety of it and think “I accept this thought” rather than fighting it off and trying really hard not to think about it makes it so much worse
They bother me sometimes. My psychotherapist teached me how to question these thoughts. For example, if I have the thought that i’m hurting someone, I question: “Why would I do it?” Sometimes I come with some answers like: “I love her/him, then I would never do it.” I haven’t done these questionings these days and I have let these thoughts bother me. Maybe it’s better to start questioning them again (it’s better than nothing).
Try YouTube for Maria bamford. She is a comedian who suffers from intrusive/unwanted thoughts syndrome. I suffer too and have found her testimonials to be helpful.
I found this video of hers:
yup yup… been through that.
Still have it a bit.
Make sure you look into the guilt complex and how it is reinforced by the delusional perception of thought broadcasting…
It’s all stimulus based response mechanisms and cognitive behavioral chains… being afraid that a thought might occur will trigger the thought… feeling guilty even after accepting and not being afraid of the thought… can cause the thought to repeat.
1000 different way to judge a human being… it’s probably difficult for most everyone to avoid judgmental thinking.
I get them but hardly notice them now
Literally couldn’t have said it better myself, my brains creative aswell!
@Ninjastar you do a great job and I’m very thankful for you tons.
