Intrusive thoughts
For my entire life, I’ve had intrusive thoughts and tried to prevent them but it got really bad in 2024 when I would have intrusive thoughts about harming my cat or getting SA’d. Last year, I got a dog. I love her sm but I would constantly have intrusive thoughts about hurting her (for example chopping out her eye with scissors) which I didn’t want to do but still I was worried so I put the scissors away and left the room to be on my own but still checked on her 5 times exactly throughout the hour. The SA thoughts went away because I stopped focusing on them but the violent ones got worse. I don’t know what to do. I’m so stuck. I was scared to post this on my real account so I put it on a free account. I just don’t know what to do. I wish I could get help but I’m worried that talking about the thoughts will normalise them and I’ll go ahead with them. I’m so stressed.
