Violent intrusive images

Sometimes I get bouts of violent images that feel so real. It’s mostly mental but sometimes I can hear it and it’s almost like I’m seeing it. The themea revolve around death or severe injury to me or someone I care about that im around. Like for example one time I saw my dog being burned alive and k heard her screaming a bit. I think I just sense danger all around me

Can anyone relate to this?tips on dealing with it?

I used to get images of me being tortured

Yes it happens to me all the time. Sometimed I’m just walking and out of no where I have these disturbing scenarios and images flash in my head. It is very distressing. I don’t know whats your diagnoses, but I have OCD, the doctor told me intrusive thoughts are part of OCD.

you’re having violent abusive thoughts, I get them at times.

It can be hard to shake, hope you can find distractions from sudden thoughts.

Yeah, it is a never ending torture, to be honest. But with medicine and therapy they can subside, but not leave. You can’t ever stop thinking as long as you have a brain, but over time and with support you grow to accept these images. It is hard but you got this.
