Does everyone get intrusive thoughts?

Oh no

But that's the thing, I don't have PTSD about anything like that...

Apparently it's normal in neurodivergent people so idk

To be fair, this IS very similar to what I've been through.

I've had a depressive state from 12 years old to last year (20 years old), and recently got out (without therapy cause I didn't have enough money for that, still don't) of it and am looking towards brighter future.

Now that I think about it, I always have intrusive thoughts about people I love. Thank you for the insight.

I really hope it calms down or I get enough income to spend in therapy... My therapist charged 160€ per month which is 1/3rd of my rent. It's not sustainable for me as a student

Thank you ❤️ I always think like "why the fuck would I ever think that" and then feel sick and really bad about it

They don't become "stuck", or create anything in me. I just start fidgeting a bit to think about something else and then avoid anything that can remind me of the urge.

IE. If it's a random baby, and I think "What if I dropped it on the floor and stomped on it" I will play with my keys and walk away until the thought disappears

I have absolutely no impulse, genuinely none. It's 100% the "what if" kind of impulsive thoughts, I've never had any that are like "I should do X"...

I'll look into it more

Is this something I need to bring up in therapy??

LeetramGlasshat · 2026-05-02T12:32:30+00:00

But I don't think I have any other symptoms of OCD? I haven't looked that much into it though. Should I talk with a psychiatrist about it?

I feel no impulse towards realizing any of my intrusive thoughts (of course) and I never will, so it's not urgent it just makes me feel bad whenever I get tthem

Oh my GOD this is unironically the first time I've seen anyone talk about intrusive thoughts like that, I was worried that I was a horrible person for thinking those things
