Inappropriate thoughts

I suffer from this big time.

Thoughts are not facts.

Intrusive thoughts invade my being. They are not voices but thoughts, but they are also Not My Thoughts. They do not stem From My Core.

All the same, these intrusive thoughts wound me. I am beside myself to know why/how each one torments me.

I do know they are a result of extreme sexual trauma.

Thank you, wave. I hope I can get back to normal soon. I need to get back to work, I have bills, lol. Iā€™m going to try to mention it to him but if they start that antidepressant thing again I know Iā€™m going to have to just deal with it and try to block my thoughts.

I get kind of like compulsion visual thoughts at times . Like the other day i see someone on the bus and I get a mental image of biting their hair or kissing them just totally random things.

I hate those urges. They can get strong at times tooā€¦ especially lately when Iā€™ve hit a manic swing.

Iā€™ve sat on my hands as my brain tired to yell outā€¦ ā€œwho wouldnā€™t want a hug on a bus?ā€

The brain vs. the mind.

These thoughts are strangers in the brain. We did not summon them. No matter how hard we try to get rid of them, we canā€™t do it. They broke in like robbers. They are going to hang around and then leave by themselves. Self diagnosing about OCD is harmful.

Yep. @martinhersey They wound me inside but I donā€™t summon them. They are sick intrusive thoughts. If someone could act as Powder did in the movie Powder, they would feel what I feel when placing a hand on me. They would feel sick from the thoughts and also feel how the thoughts sicken me.

I have the same thing, where I use to live there were people doing satanic ritual in some parks and after reading Dean Koontzā€™ book where a person was doing that and smearing themselves in human feces for the ritual my mind makes me sniff people up close to see if they are like that.

And I canā€™t help it.

I think some people thought I was trying to kiss them.

But on researching it I found out that itā€™s true, some satanic people do that.

I have inappropriate thoughts but i know they are intrusive, OCD thoughts so it should take the fear out of them i hope. My doctor is really cool bout this he says intrusive thoughts are normal and a lot of people have them so you have no reason to be ashamed of them or their content.
Intrusive thoughts still bother me but a lot of people have this problem.
Tell your doctor you suffer from intrusive thoughts he should not hospitalize you. When i told my doctor bout this he did not send me to the hospital he was just like oh you have intrusive thoughts. If you tell your doctor i hope he does not send you. To treat severe intrusive thoughts/OCD people recommend CBT Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
