I get really graphic, disgusting intrusive thoughts too. Not too dissimilar to what you’re describing.
Meds don’t help me (with respect to the thoughts). What helps me is immediately replacing the image in my head with one of a yellow and black road block with a stop sign in the middle saying “thought blocked!”
It takes some time and practice but eventually it will work if you just focus.
At least crapping on their heads is empowering, not humiliating. It’s like you’re winning the battle in a way…
Now I just tell them to screw off.
Are your thoughts doing better now that your talking about it?
I believe in my ■■■■ as much as you do yours. So these intrusive thoughts border on delusion for me. I believe I want to do these things. Sometimes I get turned on by the thoughts.
I don’t even know what to say to you. I don’t deal with that.
Although I’ve dreamed about having sex with Obama. The thing is I’m straight. I guess unless freud is right and it’s repressed homosexuality.
I had a dream of my brother jerking off once, I woke up like damn what did I eat last night.
That’s right, you’ve told us that before. I’m sorry. I deal with that only occasionally, and I can see how it would make things more difficult. Do try to remember that it doesn’t say anything about you, though?
Ok I’ll try to remember that, it just feels so real.
I get intrusive thoughts at random. They’re entirely unpredictable. But when they do come I just say “shut up Alien!” Bcuz it’s him messing with me. And then I turn to another distracting activity.
I used to get horrible intrusive thoughts, too. Very sexually disturbing stuff. But the thing is, almost everybody has these random disturbing thoughts. They’re basically random brain glitches. Most folks can just shrug it off and not pay any attention to it, and it is just a weird thought that passes through. But some folks get very upset and horrified, because they think it says something about who they are as people. That makes the thoughts more likely to occur more frequently. I was able to mostly make mine go away by reminding myself that they are a totally normal part of having a human brain, and remaining calm as the thoughts drifted through my head. Trying to stop them only made them worse, but letting them come and go has really helped.
