TW // intrusive thoughts (thread)

Tbh I never knew there was a name for this. Even though I know I’d never do the things popping into my head it still scared me. I’ve literally had days when I’d HATE myself because of these thoughts and think that I’m an awful person. 1/5

But being on twitter and hearing other’s stories has opened my eyes a lot. I have depression and Anxiety and these things exasperate these thoughts. Triggering my anxiety into thinking I’m an awful person who doesn’t deserve to live blah blah blah. 2/5

But being on here has helped me learn that it IS very common and NORMAL. I thought I was crazy. One thing I learned on twitter that has helped me a lot is that these thoughts aren’t your deep desires. They are quite literally the opposite. They are your biggest FEARS. 3/5
