The 10 Types Of Intrusive Thoughts... today we talk about intrusive thoughts intrusive thoughts are thoughts that should not act on but some people let there intrusive thoughts win... these are the types of intrusive thoughts
That actually happened to me. I was accused of a crime when I casually waved to a pair of police officers. I was accused of assaulting a mother and her infant. The police said that I matched the description exactly. 6 foot 1, white male with dirty blonde hair, white shirt, and gray shorts. After a long conversation I was able to prove I did not do anything and they let me go.
fun fact: one of the reasons for intrusive thoughts is so you realize the danger of the situation, and act more carefully. example: "I could drop this baby right now" and so you hold on to the baby more carefully.
Then why the fuck does my brain instead say « I should drop this baby, I would be satisfied if I did it. » or « I want to scream at the face of the teacher that I want to do the dirty with her, I would be relieved if I did that »
I am not saying this to make a joke, this is literally just proof that intrusive thoughts are weird and helpful. A few days ago, I genuinely had to argue with myself as to why I shouldn’t bite off my finger. It took maybe 15 minutes of me with my teeth on my index finger to convince myself “you know maybe I shouldn’t do that” and then the next day I had to use that very same index finger to get a piece of food out of a kids throat.
As soon as you mentioned Mario Bros Wii, I groaned "oh, no..." because there's a special kind of rage/crazy that happens when you play that game or the other ones with 4 player co-op. It's either a blast with folks dying on purpose and cackling like a Lion King Hyena OR it's a nightmare of yelling and try harding until everyone goes in the Bubble on purpose and everyone rage quits so nobody catches a Case.
A lot of people think intrusive thoughts are cute things like singing in class or dancing on the Starbucks counter or cutting your hair at 3 AM. I remember the "my intrusive thoughts won" trend last year. I'd always get annoyed anytime someone said that. I'd say "no, that's not intrusive thoughts. You don't want intrusive thoughts". Intrusive thoughts are these horrifying pictures in your brain of doing things like hurting your loved ones out of nowhere in really horrifying ways. When those thoughts would pop into my head, I just wanted to scream to drown them out. I never did, but it's so bad that I'd MUCH rather deal with the humiliation of screaming and crying out of nowhere in public than continuing to be antagonized by those thoughts. I'd never hurt anyone I cared about, at one point I was so afraid of doing it on impulse that I was tempted to chop my fingers off to make the danger go away. I never attempted that, it was just a thought (not intrusive, but more an impulse I ignored) but the fact that there was a temptation to do that just to keep my family safe is really scary. What helped me was when I learned that intrusive thoughts aren't our desires, but our fears. It's something we're absolutely terrified of, our worst fear. Realizing it's more like remembering a nightmare than secret dark desires helped me put them into perspective. I've had the other, more common ones like "what if I stick my tongue in that electrical outlet?" then instantly my rational brain replies "no, Ankhara, that's stupid" so those never had the awful impact. That's why anyone saying "my intrusive thoughts won" annoys me so much, it brings back terrible memories of fears I had in my teen years, the idea of any of those fear-based thoughts "winning" was a phobia of mine.
I’ve already decided that I’ll never even try drinking or smoking, but the other night, some of my family members got drunk, and I had one of those “curiosity” intrusive thoughts about what would happen if I drank with them. Luckily, I didn’t let the intrusive thoughts win. Although, I’m not old enough to drink anyway.
Same I'm 100% not smoking,vaping or anything illegal if you know what I mean. But I do drink in small amounts but nowhere near enough to get drunk. Like a small glass of wine
I've had some injury intrusive thoughts. Like whenever I have my knife with me to mess with, I would have the intrusive thought of wanted to either cut myself or stabbing myself. I'm not depressed or anything like that, it's just the thought of doing it. Another intrusive thought that I had was flashback/violent intrusive thought(s). When I was in 7th grade, me and my friend was massing with each other. But he took my pencils and put it in one of the orange chairs and closed it. I thought that I wouldn't be able to get my pencils back, so I took a sharpen wooden pencil and stabed him in the top center of his hand. I somehow didn't get suspended, but everytime I get a flashback of that, i'm just like why was I like that back then
The knife one is relatable, I'm happy to know I'm not the only one lmao I thought something was wrong with me, I ain't depressed either but I just want to cut something or just see how good I can handle pain, it's weird tbh
If I let them win I'd be in jail for Pedeophilia Murder Nucular threats against russia, china,japan, etc. Rape And lastly assault. (May god have mercy on my soul)@@drby163
I let my intrusive thoughts win once, and it felt so satisfying. This one guy in class kept talking about me behind my back in a diffrent langauge, he didnt know i understood what he said so one time i got so pissed that i slapped his face 💀
I’ve had chronic anxiety for almost a decade now. My intrusive thoughts are so frequent and intense that I have to calm myself down by singing Here Comes a Thought from Steven Universe, usually in my head but sometimes out loud. Sometimes, my intrusive thoughts involve things that could put me in a mental hospital, such as banging my head against the wall or hitting my mom, and other times, they’re as benign as a song or phrase that makes me irrationally anxious popping into my head. When I was younger and not medicated well, I acted on intrusive thoughts a lot more, leading to me harming myself and others as well as destroying objects and even clothing. One time, I tore up my own shirt at school and the teacher had to take me to the front office in my makeshift crop top to retrieve a replacement. Another time, I used my dad’s earbuds as nunchucks against him and knocked his glasses off. Yet another time, I punched my best friend in the face. (Somehow, we’re still best friends to this day.) And I would cut myself often, sometimes even during class. I’m glad I have more self-control now thanks to medication and therapy.
What are you anxious about bro? Also hitting your mom is a big no no, idc if you have some mental condition. If my son did that, im slapping the skin off his face. Also, hitting your best friend? Cmon now bruh
@@DupliKGThey never said they did it, also I once thought about jumping in the fire when I was near a campfire, not that I’m an emo who always thinks about killing himself but just letting you know we all have crazy thoughts
Growing up and even today, I’ve always had a problem with feeling anxious about the cops even tho I’ve never had a bad experience with them, I still worry about them coming after me
Kinda relate, for me its fearing I could be accidentally breaking the law at this moment without realizing when a cop is near. No idea what the crime would even be
Yeah my therapist told me I might have mild OCD. I am no stranger to intrusive thoughts. They usually go along the lines of: • Bite flesh off arms • Stab knife into eyeball • Step on own foot with spiked metal cleats • DECK OBNOXIOUS AQUAINTENCE • Just knock drink off of table like a cat • Just tell people my issues with them to their faces Luckily I'm too socially anxious to act on any of these 😎😎😎😎
Idk, never got diagnosed with ADHD/OCD, but I'm definitely sure I have one of those. Get hyper as in being able to do things quickly all of a sudden, like play on my guitar, mundane tasks, etc. Hard time staying focused on something for too long. Though I manage it by thinking about and getting motivated to stay focused.
Loved this video and can totally relate. I also want to see a video talking about the types of people in high school extracurriculars like ROTC, FBLA etc.
let me simplify the defenition of intrusive thoughts Intrusive thoughts: outrageous thoughts that randomly appear Example: You're holding your phone on a balcony, on the 5th floor. An intrusive thought in this situation would be: throw your phone off the balcony.
I work at Target and if it's a slow day and nobody's there, I ride those carts like that a little bit. You just have to make sure nobody catches you and if they do, just act like nothing happened. Like yo, I throw away 8 hours of my life away at this store every day - let me have at least one moment of fun.
i actually experienced flashbacks like one day i was just enjoying my lfie then i just remember the cringiest things ive done in my life and that put suicidal thoughts in my mind
I have a condition called hyperphantasia (yes it is a real thing), it allows you to to make realy conplex visions in your head. Want to design a model train without a cad program? Yes I can. The darker side is when I realy despise someone. You cannot imagine the disgusting things that happen in my head. It does help a lot with anger that’s bottling up, since I do not need to punch someone in real time.
Dose anyone else have intrusive thoughts that got you feeling like you should be put on death row? Cuz sometimes when i see a yong child my brain gose "punch that kid as hard as you can" and im like "No, what the fuck?"
Don't let me near anything remotely dangerous. My first thought will always be whether or not I could kill the closest person to me before I get stopped.
Yes, I used to get them all the time, one common one I used to get tormented by (still do but it's not as bad) is when I see a can of soup or vegetables, a thought in my head gives me an image of me smashing it down through someone's skull like cracking open a walnut. It absolutely horrifies me and I want to scream when I think things like that.
Today I went apple picking with my family. As we were walking back, I was holding the apples (which were very heavy by the way), my mom saw a kid running through a field and commented on how fast he was going. And then I reach into the bag of apple, pick one up and start to throw and catch it like some marvel villain and I say “I bet I could hit him.” Like who tf thinks that?
9:13 I'm 26 and still don't know what the green G is. Maybe because I'm no native English Speaker. Can someone explain please? Edit: oh wait. Does it mean Grass? Is that Terminology even sometimes used in english? Always just hear it being called Weed
when i was little i had a furby that i had this intrusive thought to put it in water, even tough that would kill it. the thought got so bad that I had to hide my furby from myself.
7:35 I absolutely hate it when that happens. It's never something good. Always about some of the most horrible and infuriating Moments. Luckily nowadays I get mostly left alone by it but sometimes those Memories return and ruin my Mood
Fun fact:one other intrusive thought is when you destroy something that's really valuable or precious to someone just for your own sadasfaction, for example if your holding your phone on a bridge over a river you might want to throw it down into the water.
Yeah ive had all of these lmfao, my most common ones are the violent type tho, im always thinking about that shit and having to keep my mind under control.
I can agree with the roasting one. Any time I see someone, the first thing my mind does is come up with the most grossest, racist, sexist, bigoted shit ever to the even thought by a human being
One time I was staying up all night and I was like 7 and it was 3 am and I felt like something was watching me so out of nowhere I just started screaming as loud as little could that was probably my worst thought
