do any of you guys experience these? is it sz? please share your thoughts
Clarify?
I get some about the women I volunteer with or college girls.
I used to get really disturbing intrusive sexual thoughts. I’ve mostly gotten over it. My trick is not to fight the thoughts. As they’re happening, remind yourself that these are not your true feelings. They’re just a random brain glitch. Literally every person on earth, neurotypicals included, has bizarre and disturbing thoughts sometimes. Most people know that the thoughts are random and don’t mean anything, and they can just move past them.
But when you get stuck on the thoughts, they can cause you distress. You might worry that you’re a bad person for having them. But you’re not. You’re a very normal person, experiencing a very normal thing. Try to just let the thought drift through your mind without paying special attention to it. Remind yourself that it’s perfectly normal to have disturbing thoughts sometimes. And then let the next thought come, and hopefully the next thought will be less disturbing.

I do, It’s horrible. They are intrusive thoughts. It can be a symptom of sz or other mi also, like ocd

Me, too.
Its horrific.
Stuff I would never do, or want done to me.
None of it turns me on, its just there, breaking into my mind.
CBT really helped me with it, more than any other symptom.
Don’t feel bad, its fairly common, especially for those of us with OCD.
