Intrusive Thoughts - Blog Posts

December 2024?

Wasn't it 2019 yesterday?

Diary entry #8

MOOOOMMM!! August is making fake scenarios in his head to get mad on purpose again!!! /ref

I have terrible intrusive thoughts, and sometimes they turn into fake arguments in my head; basically I think like this -

Transphobic thing I saw once -> having more thoughts and counter arguments to that transphobic thing I saw -> thinking about my grandparents suddenly, what they'd think about it -> they would side with the transphobic thing every time -> oh god now there's a fake argument that's making me mad again

Like I saw a Josh Hawley (conservative Missourian dickhead) truck the other day, and I started to think about how my grandparents like Josh Hawley and all the terrible things he said, annnnddd then I had a fake argument again. Goddammit.

I'm terrified of conflict, so I kind of plan it out in my head beforehand which just makes me angry and scared so it doesn't even help! I just shut down whenever I get in an actual argument with my grandparents, I just start crying.

There is no point in these fake arguments, it just pisses me off at work because that's when I have time to think.

But anyways my day was mostly normal besides that.

I hope that made even a lick of sense, I don't know if I'm coming off right.

Spoiler alert for Sanders sides: intrusive thoughts. You may wanna watch the video first if you haven't, so you dont spoil it for yourself!

(((Also, I pulled deciet from the w.i.p. because I abandoned it)))

Its gonna be deciet and (spoiler alert name in tags)! It isnt as detailed as the rest of my stuff, so I might redraw it, bc I think it looks funky, but I loved the new video.

Sharing this here too

I do not usually make posts like this but recently I have seen a lot of content on Instagram, Twitter and I think tiktok too misunderstanding the meaning of intrusive thoughts, which may cause people experiencing them to be upset.

I have tried to shortly explain the difference of impulsive and intrusive and hope it will help people to understand and use the words correctly.

Reblogs are very much appreciated!

Its like something inside of me is trying to sabotage my life.

Why can't I sleep.

I just need to sleep.

Do not let them consume you. They don’t define who you are.

REMUS. SANDERS

Now that I probably have your attention, I wanted to say that I LOVE how his character plays out and I love how funny he is and I am a person that doesn’t repress thought, but that’s not what I really wanted to speak of.

I wanted to ask the question of how tHE FUCK DID HE GET A SPONSOR FOR A VIDEO THAT TALKS ABOUT INNUENDOS AND STUFF YOU DONT WANT TO TALK ABOUT?!? Can someone PLEASE explain this to me how he actually made the video famILY friendly enough for a company to sponsor the video, like how do you do that?!? If the all mighty @thatsthat24 could answer me that’d be cool

For this Disability Pride Month, I saw a post that was shittybad and it made me angry. So have this

I have a lot of obsessions. I switch very quickly from one to another, and when I'm obsessed, I'm OBSESSED. If I'm obsessed with a person, I will find their social media, read all the articles I can find about them, watch all the videos I have with them in it, reread all of our correspondence, mention them in every conversation, and think about them every single minute of my day. When I'm obsessed with a fandom or ship, I will spend all of my time on tumblr and the internet watching edits and gifs and reading people's opinions. If I'm obsessed with a phrase, I will find a way to fit it into any conversation. I don't know why my mind works like this, and I have no idea whether it is something that happens to other people or not, but I don't want to tell anyone because I'm worried it will freak people out. But on the other hand, I really want to talk to someone about it.

when you're just chilling and then suddenly you have a thought that you can't get out of your head no matter how hard you try

and then you can't go to sleep because you keep thinking about it, even though you don't want to, and then you think "I hate my brain" and then you realize that your brain is what lets you think that and then you realize it's just a cycle. fun.

Dealing With Intrusive Thoughts

Before Thomas Sanders:

Me: *has intrusive thought*

Me, internally: No! No no ew no bad ugh *shakes head like etch-a-sketch* no no gross don't think like that no

After Thomas Sanders:

Me: *has intrusive thought*

Me, internally: Ew

Me: *continues doing whatever I was doing*

So cheers @thatsthat24 for informing me about something that none of my doctors ever did, even though with my mental health track record they really should have

C!Thomas: *cleaning a litterbox while catsitting for a friend*

Remus: Huh, that kinda looks like a salted nut roll.

C!Thomas:

C!Thomas: *deep sigh* And now I'm never eating one of those again.

Alternative to 'Working Through Intrusive Thoughts' Episode (no spoilers)

Janus: *sewing peacefully*

Janus: *cuts thread*

Remus: Y'know, those scissors are really sharp. You could poke them in your eye right now. Not even too hard, just cut your lenses. Do you think that would bleed? What would your vision look like? Would it leave a scar or make your eye look weird and blob-like? Or would it be foggy?

Janus, handing him a beanbag frog: This is for you.

Remus:

:0

Remus, squishing it: He,,, he bean,,, he sound like bean,,,

(Episode end.)

Thomas: *peacefully drawing*

Remus: Hey haha what if you like... Violently jerked your pen to the side

Thomas: ...Why?

Remus: Idk man it'd be fun just whoosh y'know

Remus: Like you could do it right now nothing's stopping you

Thomas: ...

Thomas: *violently jerks pen to the side*

Drawing: *is ruined*

Thomas:

Remus:

Remus: Yikes that wasn't a good idea was it

Thomas: Nope.

(Source: I just did this, rip my drawing of Patton lmao)

Remus: Why do they call it the birds and the bees when talking about procreation between people? Birds and bees aren't mammals. They're nothing like people. Do you know how a bird or bee reproduces? I just know they both lay eggs. So like, what?

Logan: *scoff* They call it—

Logan: They call it...

Logan: WAIT HANG ON

God gives his silliest clowns the most debilitating ocd compulsions (I've replayed the same scenario in my head for 4 hours now)

I want a guy to pay me top dollar to fuck him lol

Rev Dr Jill Richardson: I got to tell a kid in church that no, intrusive thoughts are brain chemistry, not sin, and I almost cried. Y’all, there is so much pain out there. Let’s not make it worse.

Daphne ColemanPerine; I once heard a preacher say, you can’t control what bird flies over your head but you don’t let it have to build a nest in your hair. That was honestly a breakthrough for me.

Okay this is legit though. It may be hard for people who don’t have OCD to comprehend how this could be an issue but it does actually trigger a lot of intrusive thoughts and it can start eating away at the back of your brain if you don’t reblog it. And then if you do reblog it you can continue to have intrusive thoughts about scrolling back like, “That wasn’t symmetrical. You swiped up more times than you did down, etc.” It really is an issue. Because especially if you’re like me, you can’t always fix the symmetry thing and those intrusive thoughts can be nagging at you for hours and there’s nothing you can do.

ik this has probably been said countless times but hey could y’all take a second to think before you post shit like “reblog this or you’re a Horrible Terrible Person” or “reblog this or you’ll have bad luck for _______” because i know it might not seem like a major deal but trust me, when ur a person with OCD and you come across that shit it’s like,,,, not very fun to deal with
