I’ve had intrusive thoughts since 3rd grade (I’m currently 14 going into 9th grade) so I thought I’d share my story. My intrusive thoughts are extremely dark and terrifying, and I constantly fear that I’ll become a psychopath or i’ll follow the thoughts. I have constant anxiety because of this and usually don’t leave my room. I’ve been diagnosed with anxiety and ocd so it makes sense to why I’m having these thoughts but they still get terrifying.

I literally just made a post about how I am going through this and I thought I was the only one. This started during lockdown for me and it's really scary. I constantly think that I'm going insane or that I'm a psychopath and what if one day I lose control of myself and do something awful. I've also had intrusive thoughts and I have been so terrified that what if I actually want to do those horrible things and it's not just anxiety. Every time I have an intrusive thought I spiral into a panic and I really wish I knew how to deal with it. I've dealt with anxiety for almost 5 years but its always been about outside elements, not due to being unable to trust myself and my own brain. I find that distracting myself with shows, youtube, games, tik tok, or even just talking to my family about something random can help. If I ever find a helpful solution or "cure" for this I'll let you know!! We are not alone in this and we'll get through our scary thoughts and worries :)
