@@StayH0ly this can still be normal, the difference between someone with OCD and someone without OCD is the reaction. Someone without OCD will think "what a weird thought lol" and go on about their day. Someone with OCD will think "Oh shit, what does that mean, what kind of person am I to think something like that, am I losing my mind, am I evil, do I wanna do this, what can I do to stop me from doing this" etc Sincerely, someone who just got diagnosed with OCD and was mind blown that most people don't obsess about their intrusive thoughts
@@henriette2446 i’ve been recently going through tons of ocd symptoms and have been talking to my therapists and parents and stuff for weeks and it sucks. i feel like nobody is listening to me. i have been obsessing over thoughts and so many compulsions and i’m so sick of it and the fact that everyone acts like they don’t even care is even worse. i’m so sorry to you who has to struggle with ocd. :/
“Jump off this ledge and see what happens.” I know what would happen: Worst case, I’d die. Best case, I break nearly every bone in my body. “You’ll never know until you try!” I’m gonna just back up now.
For me, best case = I die immediately, Worst case, I break every bone in my body, survive lying there in agony and embarrassed when the paramedics arrive and start collecting my splattered organs off the pavement.
Well...not to bad, but being the strong one can be tenuous some times and seasonal depression is my result. It's just not fair to you these thoughts or multiple voices. Or those people inside me are tied up like Hannibal Lector....🙄
When I hold scissors or a butter knife, my intrusive thoughts are like "isn't it crazy you can stab yourself with this????!!!!" And I ignore them- what the heck is wrong with my intrusive thoughts 🧍♀️
I love the throwing of the scissors because even though you are complete control of yourself it suddenly feels like you're dealing with a whole other person who's about to remote control your hands and you need to remove the danger while you still can
I absolutely love how a lot of these videos like these and others that she makes makes me feel so good because it makes me realize I'm literally not the only person that has s*** like this happen in their head
Here's a little fun fact: so basically your intrusive thoughts come to you randomly and sometimes violently because it's your own brain reminding you of the potential dangers around you and to be aware to not do them or follow through with them, it's kind of your Consciousness way of reminding you to be self-aware because of the potential consequences if you don't, weird I know, but it's sumthin to that effect. Now if anyone with more merit or info can clarify that'd be dope :)
So true!!!! so true. One time…idk y…. I didn’t even have a peeler but I thought something like…what if I peeled my eyeball. Gosh, I hate those thought.
Guys please. Intrusive thoughts are healthy and normal. Everyone has them. They only become pathological when you obsess over them instead of thinking "wtf" or take drastic measures so they don't happen
For all those who have these intrusive thoughts, you have my sympathy. Not empathy, just sympathy. I can't imagine how exhausting it must be to be this anxious.
*me literally minding my own business walking down the street* "hey funny story what if that manhole cover just dropped out from underneath your foot suddenly and you fell into the sewer lol" *immediately starts sweating and watching my every step*
😂try the call of the void my brain literally goes “if we just push our head through the glass it would feel really good mentally physically not so much but just imagine…….” Thanks brain no I’m good
I'm not the only one it happens to! I had something like this through all of my life, and couldn't understand why; it's not like I want to do something to myself, it's just "I might stub myself if I wish" out of the blue, which then makes me uncomfortable and I usually give up on my kitchen work or whatever I did at the moment with a knife.
That happens to Me Too! I'll be holding something and then something like that pops into my head and I immediately hold it the correct way or just put it down Or point the thing away from wherever I just imagined
I just had flashbacks to when a teacher told me not to run with a lollipop in my mouth because it’ll end up in my throat and I literally imagined the stick coming out my neck after I choke on it and I never did it again 🙃
I always think these when I see kids climbing trees, I’m like, if you slip forward that branch will poke you in the face. And I’m only a teenager, but maternal forces seems like they’ve already kicked in.
i was walking down the stairs, and start creating this whole scenario...how i will miss a step, fall down and spill my glass of juice along with breaking the glass, whose broken pieces will stab my hands. 😂😂
That´s me all the time. The most common one is probably when I walk up the stairs and I'm certain I'm gonna trip and hit my mouth against a step and loose teeth. 😬
I usually have really graphic and violent intrusive thoughts, and it’s become really terrifying lately, because I feel like I’m going to give in to them any second.
Have you ever had a teacher sit down at a table with you and you thought: “What would happen if I just kicked them…?” If it’s just me I’m going to sound crazy
Been like that most my life. I remember for a period as a kid I couldn't ride in the back of the truck with the tailgate down because I kept thinking about jumping out.
This is so relatable. My intrusive thoughts usually include guns tho. Example: being in the car and thinking “What if the person in the car beside us decides to shoot me through the window?” I hate intrusive thoughts.
I always have these dumb thought and people said that some people dont have that voice in their head and at first i would have been mad but not having the thoughts sometimes would be really nice
This reminds me when ever I hold something sharp like a needle or knife my intrusive thoughts tell me to prick or stab myself. Yeah I think I'm gonna stay away from sharp things from now on.
Last night when I was carrying my little table to put away and I walked past my dog, I immediately thought "if I dropped this table on her, her head would be cut in half and blood would splatter everywhere" after that I immediately put the table away but I was really intimidated.
For me, it's usually going down the stairs. "... And just like that, your spine will snap in half. I wonder if you'd still be alive to feel it." And every time my falling trajectory and the pose I will be found in are very vivid in my head. Over time I have grown to dislike stone/cement stairs, as those are the most painful (and dangerous) to fall on.
I got these thoughts 24/7 that i just learned to laugh at it, all the while scanning my room and finding out that i can die in any sort of way just by looking at an object lol.
something like this happened to me once. i was at a hotel on vacation and we were super high up and i was standing on the balcony leaning against the railing with my phone in my hands. i realized how high up we were and my hands started getting sweaty cause im kinda scared of heights and then a thought popped into my head: what if your hands get so sweaty that your phone slips and it falls onto the road and gets run over by a car. i then backed up a bit and then decided to go inside but my brother had locked my out and nobody really cared since it wasnt a big deal and they thought i needed more time outside and i didnt really care either so i just sat down and kept looking at everything. then another thought came: what if you threw your phone off the balcony. and immediately i stood up and prepared to stop myself from throwing it. i did end up holding my hand over the railing to see how much i trusted myself and thats when my brother finally let me in. saved by my brother
