How do you forget disturbing thoughts?
Let the thoughts go right on by. As soon as you notice them, just say, 'odd thoughts', and let it go. Take a deep breath and turn your mind to other things. Doing this consistently actually changes the wiring in the brain and you'll get fewer and fewer of these random thoughts. (Trying to block the thought actually makes it stick around longer.)
IS IT OK TO HAVE DISTURBING THOUGHTS?
Does everyone have disturbing thoughts sometimes, or is it really just a sign of a mental disorder? Do disturbing thoughts make me a bad person? Like for example.. sometimes in my mind I can see me squeezing my cat to death, I dont know why, the image is just there. I love him more than anything and I would never do anything to hurt him. When i get these thoughts I usually stay away from the cat and try to focus on something else. I have other disturbing thoughts as well but that was just one example. Sometimes I worry that I am an evil person, because I have sick thoughts. Is this normal??
Why do I have dark/disturbing thoughts?
Perhaps, simply, because everything has a dark and disturbing side.I can think of a couple of things to contemplate.Frequency of the appearance of ddt.Is it that they are constantly coming into your mind, new events, new conversations, new input is creating these ddt?Time it takes to let go of ddtIs it that when a ddt occurs, you cannot let it go, and it continually circles around like an unwelcome guest.I can offer my own view on the worldWe have two things inside us. Some see it as good and evil, others see it as ego and self. Basically there is a force of creation and a force of destruction.Everyday people struggle with such duality. If you try to do the thing that in your heart of hearts you think is the best thing to do, then a part of you will shout and scream and pull you down. Or they may softly whisper and tell you you don’t have to do that.Perhaps understanding that it is natural to have opposing forces inside you. That with every ddt, you have a light pleasant thought.Treat each ddt as a test. Identify that it is preventing you from doing something that is beneficial for you. Thank it for pointing that out to you, as although I likened it to evil before, it is just as much a part of you as the opposite desires. The duality is normal. They are both part of you. The more you understand this, the more you will recognize what you really want to do.
Why Do I always get disturbing intrusive thoughts while im masturbating?
Oh god i know exactly what you mean its such a turn off it'll be like a hot girl then boom your sister pops into your head or something. I think watching porn will help this out because you have some visual aid instead of letting your mind wander.
Very strange and disturbing thoughts during puberty?
I know this question has been thrown around a bit on here, but I wanted to explain my situation. Hi, I'm 15, and am currently going through puberty, as you'd expect at this age. At age 13 was when all of the effects seemed to hit me, and I started to be aroused by anything remotely sexual, you know the deal. Anyway, I did things at that age that I'm not very proud of, all my hormones hit me at once and I became very curious and hormonal. After realizing what I was doing though I stopped straight away and for the two years leading up to now my hormones never seemed to really bother me, and I was very happy and cheerful. However, recently I have started to recollect the things that I did all those years ago, and I have started to really worry about them. I seem to have developed a large amount of anxiety all of a sudden, and it has caused me a lot of grief and upset, and I have been crying now and then, which for a 15 year old male is rather rare to say the least. On top of that, I have started to have very strange and disturbing thoughts. Aside from the obvious teenage fantasies about other girls, which I know is normal, I have also started to have very weird gay and paedoish (if you understand what I mean by that) thoughts. They have really started to get on my nerves, and it's not something I can control, these thoughts seem to just pop up whenever they feel like it. They have been adding to my anxiety quite a bit, and admittedly I have been hitting myself over them, thinking that im a horrible person and having thoughts of suicide because it's just too much for me. I don't want to be gay or a pedophile, most definitely not, im completely interested in girls, it just seems that now my brain tried to come up with any possible sexual thought or situation it can think of, whether it involves a girl (which I far more prefer my head to generate) or any other person that I see or that I suddenly think of for whatever reason, and I really want this to stop. Is this normal for a male of my age going through puberty? Like, are hormones to blame for this? For all of it? I want to start my own family when I'm older, and whatever my head comes up with, I know that I'm straight. Is this normal and will it all settle as I get older? thanks in advance.
Why are intrusive thoughts so scary?
Every highly anxious person has to cope with intrusive thoughts. Intrusive thoughts are frightening thoughts about what might happen to you or someone you care about, or what you might do to yourself or another person. They seem to come from outside of your control, and their content feels alien and threatening.For some people, intrusive thoughts are part and parcel of panic or intense anxiety. In these types of intrusive thoughts, it feels like the thoughts come about as a result of the anxiety, and they function to add more fear to the anxiety you are already experiencing. The intrusive thoughts keep the anxiety going, and maintain the fear-producing spiral. So, for example, you might think, "what if I have a heart attack?" in the midst of an anxiety attack. You are already in the altered state of consciousness that I call anxious thinking, and your thoughts feel likely to happen.However, there is another class of intrusive thoughts that I call intrusive obsessive thoughts. These thoughts seem to come from out of nowhere, arrive with a distressing whoosh, and cause a great deal of anxiety. The content of intrusive obsessive thoughts almost always focus on sexual or violent images. Here are typical examples of intrusive obsessive thoughts: "Killing someone. Torturing a pet animal. Stabbing a child. Throwing someone (or yourself) out of a window. Jumping onto a train track as the train comes into the station. Molesting a child. Raping someone. Taking off your clothes in public." This is not a complete list, but it gives you a good feeling of the content of these thoughts.People who experience intrusive obsessive thoughts are afraid that they might commit the acts they picture in their mind. They might imagine hurting someone or committing an act of sexual violation. Intrusive obsessive thoughts can be very explicit, and most people are embarrassed and frightened of them.There are a number of myths about intrusive obsessive thoughts. The greatest myth is that having thoughts of a sexual or violent nature mean that you want to do the things that come into your mind. This is not true. You do not want to do the things that enter your mind when you have intrusive obsessive thoughts. In fact, the opposite is true. People with intrusive obsessive thoughts are gentle and non-violent
Why do I have these intrusive thoughts in my head?
Humans have right brain anxiety based intrusive harmful/negative thought because the right brain is faulty, its Australopithecus fault he developed it as greater intelligence and fantasy mixed with lower animal fear.Do not let this scare you this will make the right brain reject the information more than it will normally, this can be fixed I had the same problem exactly and it is now cured as long as I practice EGMi twice a day. Do not accept that this thought as normal it is most humans that are abnormal by universal standards at this time, as we practice right brain use is reduced and left brain logical/positive thought is increased all intrusive thought will stop in time. We even have a brain hack so if an intrusive thought begins we can do a quick left shift and it is gone, this may sound wild but science is using magnets to attempt the same thing with TMS, more info: EGMI Metacognition for the Masses
Do you think "intrusive thoughts" (aka "disturbing thoughts") can contribute to making you stronger?
Do you think "intrusive thoughts" (aka "disturbing thoughts") can contribute to making you stronger?First of all, poor definition of intrusive thoughts. They are not just “disturbing thoughts,” since all people can have disturbing thoughts. Rather, they are brought on through mental illness and can occur without warning. They often have a serious impact on the individual experiencing them, preventing them from going about their daily lives as easily.Secondly, the thoughts themselves do not make you stronger. Again, they cause great weakness and often will temporarily worsen the symptoms of mental illness, sometimes even driving one to self harm or suicide.What does make you stronger is living and carrying on despite the thoughts. Strength is not about having the thoughts, but properly dealing with them, and, in the long term, moving on to a healthier mental state.
Why do I have so many weird, intrusive thoughts about dark, disturbing, and inppropriate things?
Oftentimes, it’s people with OCD who have a lot of weird, intrusive thoughts. See article source: OCD or Narcissism? Sitting with the Cool Kids. What so interesting about OCD is that it’s people with a really strong conscience and moral compass who are experiencing a conflict. They deal with these conflicts by obsessing. So, I would just relax. You likely have a strong conscience. It’s a dark and disturbing world. You aren’t doing inappropriate things. Forget about the thought police. If you want help, see an analyst who specializes in OCD. A psychopath and a narcissist would not likely have any problem with dark thoughts.
