Heyyy!
Lately, I’ve been getting a lot of intrusive thoughts, but based on what I’ve read from others, they aren’t exactly normal? Mine are primarily fear/embarrassment based. I do get the occasional like, “what if you did this violent thing” or “you could technically do this awful crime right now” but mostly it’s like, me shouting a bad word in class or someone coming and stabbing my bunny to death. It’s super overwhelming, and I noticed I started to develop certain repetitive movements when those do come. It kind of depends on what I’m doing when the though occurs. When I’m sitting, I’ll generally scrunch my face up, shake my head, and jerk my shoulders inward. When I’m standing, i do the face thing, along with like stomping my foot, and repeatedly biting down/opening my mouth and teeth. It isn’t always those specific ones, but I kind of noticed a pattern I guess. It’s kind of like a reflex, I do it before thinking and no matter how hard I try NOT TO it doesn’t exactly work. It’s getting out of hand, and I think they were originally just to distract me from the thought, but I can’t stop them now and it’s getting scary. Anyone know what’s going on/experienced something similar?
Thanks
