All I can think about is what I don’t wanna think about. All I can do is try and get relief.
Relief never comes.
I’m walking around, not even real.
This all feels like a bad trip.
I can see it. I can hear it. I feels like it already happened.
I’m screaming for help. I’m begging and it feels like I’m in a soundproof box.

when people figure out that intrusive thoughts aren’t quirky thoughts about wanting to paint your hair or get a piercing but literal disturbing horrid revolting socially unacceptable unwanted thoughts then I’ll applaud, until then y’all can stfu on something you don’t know. “Oh that’s weird :/ u need help” yeah no fucking shit honey do u think I wanna be plagued w these unwanted thoughts all day? it’s not a damn choice

you are not your intrusive thoughts, but even if you were, you would still be deserving of humanity and health. you are still a person. you deserve life and all the necessities that come with it. simply by existing.

Just learned that intrusive s=xual thoughts and sensations are normal and part of having intrusive thoughts. There was never anything wrong with me, I was never bad or gross--- not as a kid and not now.

okay, weird thought, but does anyone else have like a "safe scene" for when you have really violent intrusive thoughts or repetitive triggers or ptsd flashbacks that just keep cycling in your brain over and and over so you try to force your brain into that scene because it's safe? like mine for example is someone rolling up a scroll (one with the visual memory) and putting it into a barrel and then walking away to a far away gazebo. like.... anyone else? just like a scene your brain reverts to when you just don't want to see a memory?

I know people don’t mean to dismiss people with OCD when they say things like “I let the intrusive thoughts win” but if you’re saying stuff like that you need to stop like yesterday. An intrusive thought isn’t having the desire to buy/do something a little quirky. Intrusive thoughts are debilitating, tortuous, repetitive, and unwanted thoughts that the person experiencing does not want AT ALL. Sometimes they involve a fear of disease or contamination like most people associate with OCD but they can sometimes be violent and/or sexual in nature. It makes it hard to trust yourself because you believe that a “good” person wouldn’t have these thoughts, even though the unwanted images or thoughts don’t make you a bad person. BECAUSE THEY ARE UNWANTED!
Because of this minimization of OCD and intrusive thoughts I’ve seen so many people online being armchair psychologists and saying that intrusive thoughts are “hidden desires” because “why else would they be there?” Like I’m sorry but something tells me that the people who isolate themselves out of a fear they’ll hurt others (despite not having the desire to) isn’t itching to pick up an axe and go Patrick Bateman on people. Go pick up a book before you contribute to an idea that drives thousands of people to live their lives in constant fear and self-hatred.
So please, please, PLEASE stop making “my intrusive thoughts won” jokes. Treat people with OCD with respect or kindly shut the fuck up ☺️

Having OCD is trying to choose between two completely identical spoons because you're spiritual and don't know which one to grab to not fuck up the future.

Intrusive Thought and Image #293:
“I want to cut all the way down my forearm and see the long line of dripping - maybe that would be indicative of my true pain.”

I think in my experience with it, the best/funniest way to describe living with OCD/anxiety issues/intrusive thoughts is that it feels like having a Tumblr user who sends anon hate in your brain; a loud, annoying, pathetic little voice that jumps to the most ridiculous, disgusting, uncharitable, nonsensical, bad faith, and upsetting-to-you-personally hot take on almost everything you do, see, like, believe, think, enjoy, and feel. And it harasses/bullies you by spamming these takes at you repetitively and demanding you engage with them, but the only way to really deal with it is learn to distinguish it from your real anons/thoughts and ignore it as the powerless deranged weakling it is because engaging with it is useless and just encourages it to keep bugging you.

Entry #027
Protection
One of the reasons I went back to my (Lapsed) Catholicism is thanks to God's protection.
I have a generalized anxiety disorder, as well as being photosensitive and having a very vivid imagination. My mind is filled with a lot of intrusive and impulsive thoughts that causes me distress. I especially have a hard time dealing with scary images, because my mind will amplify these sights sometimes for years. My photosensitivity also makes it so I have these scary sights imprinted on dark spots of my vision when they're highly contrasted. I'm not a big fan of visual horror media, as you could guess ahah. (Horror novels though...)
Anyhow, a year ago I started praying to God whenever I have these unwanted sights and thoughts so He could make them disappear. It has worked wonderfully. Sure, it could be that I'm just distracting my mind, that it would work if I were to, let's say, sing a silly song everytime I have these thoughts. But with God... I don't know, it's different. I tried other stuff and only leaving this burden to be handled by Him works for me. He's the only one who could reassure me whenever I wake up in the middle of the night and fear a scary creature doing its evil bidding in atrocious ways.
It works for me, and I'm all the more thankful to God for his protection.

Why do I always remember the bad things? Why can't I think of the good? Why do I always let my mind wander to the things that happened and that I can't do anything about. Why do I always let myself do this to me. It isn't fair. There's no point in resting on bad thoughts. It's not like I can do anything about it now anyway.

A special acknowledgement for those who experience intrusive thoughts/images and are in systems or are plurals/multiples.
It's a combination that fucking sucks, trust me we know, and we hadn't seen many talk about. So anyway:
Here's to the people in systems that feel embarrassed and ashamed the other know their intrusive thoughts and/or images.
Here's to the parts that feel comfort that there are others who know exactly what it feels like for them.
Here's to those whose role or job within their system is managing or holding intrusive thoughts and/or images.
Here's to those who are the only headmate(s) in their collective have intrusive thoughts and/or images.
Here's to collective where everyone (or almost everyone) experience intrusive thoughts and/or images.
Here's to the systems that's internal communication is made more difficult because intrusive thoughts and/or images.
Here's to sysmate who have a difficult time figuring out if memories actually happened(whether to the body or not), or are just repeating intrusive thoughts and/or images.
Here's to people who are exposed to things that aren't appropriate for because of of their system's intrusive thoughts and/or images.
Here's to systems that have splits because of intrusive thoughts and/or images.
Here's to alters that get intrusive thoughts and/or images about other alters in the system and the those the other's in the system cure about.
And to alters who, even though they know the others can't control them, still feel upset because of other's in the system's intrusive thoughts and/or images about them or their loved ones. You are aloud to feel that discomfort.
May your minds be kind to you, and I hope you find ways of managing intrusive thoughts and/or images, and the guilt that often comes along with them.
