Asdf Ghjkl do not EVER get scared of yourself. Fearing your self is fearing who you are, and how amazing you have been, are, and WILL be. And think of this: If your so worried over your thoughts, and are trying to prevent them with all you have, then you obviously don't AGREE with them!! They are bs. You have to stand strong and say I am BETTER than my thoughts! They mean nothing. I love you and everyone else going through this or not, because you deserve the support and love. And if you cant get these bs thoughts put of your head, TELL SOMEONE YOU TRUST!!! They have 99.9 percent been through the same thing you have! It will feel like an a million pound weight was RELEASED! I love you and everyone else, and kick your thoughts' TAIL with the strong you! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Chin up Garima, you are not alone and you are not a bad person for having these thoughts.

I know and believe you can get better, please do not suffer alone

[@Triptoons]

Hang in there buddy, those thoughts come and go. Time heals all. Don’t have shame for having them. Don’t have shame for asking for help. Hope you find people, tools, and techniques that alleviate your anxiety and thoughts. Sending good vibes and love ✌️

[@Delmarvafishing]

Garima you have control of your mind not your thoughts, the more you try to control them the worse you feel. Next time you have an intrusive thought, say to your self "outloud if you have to" that thought is not going to help in any way and I will not entertain it. It takes a lot of practice, the more you have the thought the more you must practice this the easier it will get.

[@moaemgardolssonallmanjanua4253]

This really helps. I've been struggling with intrusive thoughts for years now. But what I've learned is that they always go away, they are like waves in the ocean, the come and they go away. Sometimes it is a tsunami type of wave, sometimes it's a calm wave, sometimes it's a very aggressive thought and sometimes its just a thought with a little touch of negativity. What I'm trying to say is, it is just temporary, like the waves. You should never try to trace an intrusive thought down, just accept it and move on with your day. If someone are going through a hard time with their intrusive thoughts right now, I want you to know that you are never alone, I and many other people knows what it feels like. Have an incredible day!

[@rachelayodele9694]

My intrusive thoughts are the worst they come and go and when they come they stick like glue and when I challenge them they get worse. I think starting by how we respond is important not how we react. Thinking mindfully and observing what we are thinking rather than seeking approval for them helps with managing intrusive thoughts.

Fighting it makes it worse trust me i am doing the things i learned from everyone be an observer whenever you have a thought it may be a little hard at first but with practice you will master it

The more years that go by and i become more aware of my intrusive thoughts i become stronger. I don’t get scared anymore, only that it’s exhausting. You are strong. Honestly, stronger than most. You’d be surprised what all you can accomplish. And when others see you accomplish these goals of yours, you’ll blow everyone’s mind including your own. This is coming from someone who has intrusive thoughts right now as i type this.

[@mitziortiz7675]

Sometimes when my mind is full of thoughts, a little voice in my head tell me that all that thoughts are because what i'm feeling (sadness/nervous/angry) but then i explain to my self that everything i'ts ok and i just need solve it, and my mind calms down.

[@flambojr.4235]

We also need to observe ourselves. See everything, including our self, in 3rd person point of view. That helps us realize we're just strongly against the thoughts and that's why we pay attention to them, cuz they hurt us and cause us anxiety. Realize you're anxious and they're just thoughts.✌

Not gonna lie, hearing someone talk about it who has experienced it helps me feel a lot better. I like the Zen approach of noticing them and being an observer rather than fighting them in your mind, because once you start to fight them your mind will try to solve it; And once it solves it, it can sometimes throw an even more complex thought at you to solve next. I just started meditation yesterday and it was great, and now im starting to feel a lot better about this. Thank you.

It's terrible but even though I know the relationship was probably one of the most wonderful things in my life and that this person was the one person for me and I fell into deep depression because I was so afraid that I'll never find a person like them I'll never have that experience with anybody else but then I realized that even that thinking is intrusive and I'm going to start doing a CBT chart and working on myself and hopefully something good will come into my life from it by working on how I deal with my thoughts.

Seriously thank you! Sometimes I wonder what the hell is wrong with me. I get the most random thoughts and they scare me because they make me think I might do something dumb. But knowing that they’re just random alleviates some stress. I think our ultimate goal as humans is to learn to manage our thoughts. 🙏

I realllyyyy needed this. Its been dirty unkind thoughts non stop for a day. I honestly never even gave detatching from thoughts a... well thought. Good to know I'm not insane and that I'm just human.
