impulsive thoughts are NOT intrusive thoughts #ocd #intrusivethoughts #neurodivergent #audhd

People don't understand that intrusive thoughts can be highly disturbing and very taboo things that you would never do and make you sick or sad thinking about them, but you literally can't control the thoughts. I feel bad for folks that struggle with them intensely

If I listened to my intrusive thoughts, there’d be a documentary about it

The intrusive thoughts would make me the only citizen in Area 51 as an incarcerated prisoner😭

[AnotherForestDweller]

yeah therapist said he was proud of me for not being one of those as well 😂

[Neiko_RM]

I struggle with dark intrusive thoughts that make me sick. I really wish I could think normally.

[FRK-GK]

My instrusve thoughts are absolutely terrible, and its like how when im in the car with my dad and i see a person and i exclaim 'hit them!'.

[LightYagaming]

Driving is SCARY when you keep thinking about ramming your car into things

[RambleMaven]

The way I stay off edges of high buildings and edge of high cliffs because I feel like I’m going to throw myself off is wild 😭 like at this point I don’t even want to d!3 😭😭 Why do my thoughts tell me to do that? 😭

[SaarahJ]

I have intrusive thought and I think I'm glad they aren't intense but atleast my friends can stop me from anything like that

[julia_simone]

I don’t want to share the intrusive thoughts I get but let’s just say I would be on death row if I let mine win🧍🏻‍♀️

[EmLovesRoblox.]

Finally im finding the ppl who are like me in the comment section. It feels so good to know other people have the same struggles as me and im not alone or weird. You and the people in your comment sections are so relatable 😭😭

When people with impulsive thoughts hear what a person's actual intrusive thoughts are.

"i let my intrusive thoughts win!!" and then they just dyed their hair or something

[theavocadodealer]

Right its like my intrusive thoughts genuinely make me throw up sometimes but sure bestie buying that coffee is your intrusive thoughts winning 💀

[nycjanedoe]

It's only an a intrusive thought if one has an adversarial relationship with it. Acceptance is our ultimate power.

im 13 and autistic, and i get bullied for it which makes me feel sad but when i watch your videos they make me feel happy and not alone ❤❤❤😊

[wizardoforbs]

Thank you. I'm autistic, but I don’t have OCD. All I know is I've had those appear more or less in my teen years. It's usually about distressing or violent scenarios, and it got worse when I've developed depression (in which case, crossing the street was... Well. Better not to talk about it). Nowadays it's more manageable, so I can't complain, but sometimes thoughts like that appear and they disgust or scare me, and I have to remember that they aren't me.

[Pnisnvy]

Unfortunately, even as grown adults, people still don’t understand the difference between intrusive and IMPULSIVE 😭😭

[Vixedits]

I have violent ones which scare me sometimes
Intrusive and impulsive are different things.
