I suffer from intrusive thoughts

the content of the thoughts is that I can’t work in Israel.
But masses of people do work.
I am talking about a good white collar job for me.
I would like to know 2 things:

  1. who is sending me these repulsive thoughts
  2. How to get rid of them.

No one is sending you any thoughts Erez. It is happening in your mind and your mind alone.

Gonna have to use your inner calculation in a way that inner emotional responses are whatever I guess, you know the different types of ways to think etc.
Concrete Thinking vs. Abstract Thinking.
Convergent Thinking vs. Divergent Thinking.
Creative Thinking vs. Analytical Thinking.
Sequential (linear) Thinking vs. Holistic Thinking.
Problem/solution thinking .

So hence you just understand that and let go I guess then just continue on with your day,
I just take a unliteral approach as literal to me and I let everything just falls in place
(My calculations towards it are absurd and ridiculous, nonsense I guess and deem it as real to me)along with not bothering with any of it
It gets the real picture of both sides through,
pretty sure this is all just caused from emotional suppression.

It’s in your head, but as @sigarino may be continuous.

Check with your doc or therapist if seen fit.

  1. Your brain is sending you them
  2. Meds and CBT may improve the symptom

this is not my brain , my brain is a receptor, not my brain is sending this.
My brain just receives signals from somewhere, at least in my opinion.

i used to get thoughts like that too
