I hear a lot of people talk about getting these, but I wonder what they are about. Think I get some sexual one’s but don’t know if that has anything to do with sz. What are yours about? Sometimes when I pray or am in Church worshipping I feel like saintan is whispering bad thoughts in my ear so to say . Things I don’t want to think about. Any one else?

Most of them are incredibly violent and are about doing violent things to other people. Then there are ones that are derogatory towards me like “filthy” or “beast” and then sometimes I get ones that are completely nonsensical, like random phrases. “I don’t boil bones”

Mine are mostly sexual and/or violent, and describing them would probably get me banned. They used to be very distressing, but now I just shrug and move on with my day. They happen to everyone.

Everyone sz or everyone? Yah I have had some pretty disgusting, you think norms have those to?
I know normies have them too, because I’ve asked several. I’ve known some normies who get disturbed by these thoughts, but most people just universally acknowledge them as weird brain glitches, and agree to never discuss them. I also asked my therapist, who assured me that literally everyone in the world has random disturbingly violent/sexual/incestual thoughts that just pop up sometimes.

Mine are about a fear of getting hurt.

Mine are suicidal impulses even though I am in no way suicidal.

Typically about suicide, though not as much lately. The only thing intrusive going on with me now is people carrying on conversations with me in my head, though my sort-of new med has that lessened to a bearable level, not as distracting as it can be.

Initially it was called ocd. Who knows.
Violent. Bizarre monsters.Just random horror, others or self getting hurt. I’m experiencing it. Traumatized. Catastrophic images sometimes - picture current situation worse case horror and see it happening.

Mine are usually my sudden, violent death or disfigurement. Always seems to be worse on the days I have bad nightmares. Even well into the day after the nightmares are forgotten, they seem to crop up more. It’s like my brain gets the day off on the wrong foot.

I too, get these random nonsense ones, as well as odd spontaneous (rarely violent) urges, that are hard to suppress. Thankfully, I have never acted on any.
I sometimes get awful thoughts and visuals, like of loved ones dying or people being mutilated.
Do meds even help with these? They never did for me.

They reduced the amount significantly but I did still get the violent ones.
