Re: New member, need help?
Hi,
Intrusive thoughts are common, but they are just thoughts, no more.
Thoughts not actions.
They are usually the complete opposite of who we are, which is why they scare us so much..I used to get them about harming, harming family, pets and myself... But I would never hurt a fly, I don't kill insects even..
Hence the thoughts were so scary to me.. I nearly passed out with panic one time...
Trying to fight the thoughts only make them stronger.. The more importance they have, the more they come.... You can't force yourself to not think them.. It's like if I say ,don't think of pink elephants, gauranteed it's all you think of!!
So I let the thoughts come, I'd then say to them, I'm not interested, I don't want to harm anyone, so your wasting your time..I'd rather kill myself before hurting anyone, and since I don't want to die either, then your wasting your time .. They soon disappeared!
