OCD is so funny because why am I having fictional fights with people and why can't I stop it from happening

#OCD #intrusivethoughts

I find it so helpful to learn that our thoughts don't define us. Managing them effectively is a huge benefit. #IntrusiveThoughts #OPMHS

Nearly every time I'm stopped in traffic "But what if I just fucking floored it?"

Or "Hmmm, maybe I drive off the bridge/into the ditch?"

4 Moments Where Thought Can Be Interrupted (And What to Do Right Then) - Dualistic Unity When thoughts turn into suffering, interruption has to happen in the moment. This article explores four points where painful thinking loosens—and what to do right then.

The mind often frames intrusive thoughts as problems that must be solved immediately. What if urgency itself is part of what keeps them alive?

A messy sketch of my sona laying on their back, tired and crying. On each of their wrists are tags labeled with the names of two SSRIs. One is labeled “Mirtazapine,” which I take to treat insomnia and depression, and another is labeled “Fluvoxamine,” which I take to treat OCD and anxiety.

A messy sketch of my sona floating with their face buried in their knees and arms. A large, monstrous head with fangs and weeping eyes is attached to my back, dripping black ooze down onto me and off to the bottom of the drawing.

It would be sick as hell if my brain would stop gaslighting me into thinking I’m a monster

Intrusive thoughts happen to about 90% of us!!! That's a HUGE amount. It's not the thought that's the problem, it's your perception of what the thought means. Don't panic. Recognize it as a thought. Move on.

Zelda (in tears): Calamity Ganon, he took over the Guardians and Divine Beasts. The others, Daruk, Revali, Mipha, Urbosa, are all trapped inside of those things! Zelda (while the camera focuses on a very beat up Link): And all because I can't master this stupid power! It's because of me that we're all doomed. I've failed! Zelda proceeds to cry into Link's arms, bawling and wailing for all to hear. Link (thoughts): Probably an inappropriate time to mention she cries like a surly drunk.

I mean, were we in her shoes, we'd cry that way too

Why Everything Feels Worse at 3 AM or 4AM: The Science of Night Anxiety & Loneliness Have you ever jolted awake at 3:33 a.m., staring at the ceiling, feeling a sudden wave of crushing loneliness or unexplainable anxiety? You aren't going crazy, and you certainly aren't alone. In the dead of night, when the rest of the world is asleep, your brain undergoes a strange and powerful shift. In this episode, we are dissecting the psychology of the "Witching Hour"—that specific window between 3:00 and 5:00 a.m. where our problems feel massive and our hope feels small. We dive deep into the science of why this happens. Did you know that during these early morning hours, your brain’s logical defenses (the prefrontal cortex) are actually offline? It’s a biological vulnerability that leaves you defenseless against intrusive thoughts, lingering emotions from vivid dreams, and the weight of unfiltered anxiety. We explain why the lack of external distractions forces us to confront the things we successfully ignore during the day. If you are dealing with emotional exhaustion, grief, or just the stress of modern life, these nightly wake-up calls can feel like a personal failure. But they aren't. They are a physiological response to a drop in dopamine and a rise in cortisol. We’re here to validate those heavy feelings and remind you that the way you feel at 4 a.m. is not a reflection of your reality—it’s just chemistry. Join us as we explore how to navigate these nighttime emotions, why the silence feels so loud, and how to find comfort when the sun hasn't come up yet. 👇 In this episode, you’ll learn: - Why we wake up at 3 a.m.: The biological link between circadian rhythms and anxiety. - The Logic Gap: Why your rational brain sleeps while your emotional brain panics. - The Grief Connection: Why loss and loneliness hit harder in the dark. - Coping Mechanisms: How to self-soothe when nighttime depression sets in. 🫂 You don't have to face the dark alone. If this episode made you feel seen, please subscribe and share it with a friend who might be struggling with their sleep. Let’s normalize the conversation around mental health and sleep. If you are in distress, please reach out to a professional—there is no shame in seeking support.

"Am I Broken or Just Overwhelmed?" — Dissociation, Brain Fog & Hidden Anxiety Signs Do you ever feel like you're floating outside your body, watching yourself exist on autopilot? Or maybe you’re exhausted, not because you ran a marathon, but because you spent 20 minutes talking to a cashier? Here is the truth: You aren’t "crazy," and you definitely aren’t "broken." You are just biologically overloaded. In this episode, we are shattering the myth that mental health struggles always look like crying in a dark room. Sometimes, they look like chronic back pain, losing your keys for the fifth time (brain fog), or having terrifying intrusive thoughts that pop up out of nowhere. We are diving deep into the nervous system science behind why your body shuts down when your mind can’t take anymore. We explore the terrifying reality of dissociation—that "glitchy" feeling where nothing feels real—and why it’s actually your brain’s clever way of pulling the emergency brake. We also unpack somatization, explaining why your unprocessed trauma is showing up as migraines, stomach issues, and unexplainable aches. This isn't just "all in your head"; it is literally in your body. In this episode, we decode the hidden biological signals of a struggling mind: - What is Dissociation? Why you feel numb, detached, or like you’re living in a dream. - Why am I so tired after socializing? The science of "masking" and social battery depletion. - Am I going crazy? The truth about intrusive thoughts and a hyperactive threat-detection system. - Why does my body hurt? How emotional dysregulation turns into physical pain (Somatization). Stop blaming your character for what is actually a biological response to stress. We are moving beyond the stigma to give you the validation you’ve been desperate for. Validate your reality! If you’ve ever Googled your symptoms in the middle of the night, this episode is for you. Hit that Subscribe button to join a community that finally gets it. Share this with that one friend who is always "tired"—it might change their life. Leave a 5-star review and tell us: Which symptom did you think was just "you" until today?

View from inside a car. A ramp in the mid-ground is seen through the front window of the car. The driver is having intrusive thoughts about jumping the ramp.

I would love it if I could look at a knife and not immediately imagine what it would feel like to stick it through my eardrum. Just once. Why am I the way that I am? #intrusiveThoughts

Have you ever wondered what it would taste like to make a some #ramen using #MountainDew instead of water? No? Yeah, me neither...

I would add that, #logically, if #tics in general are #intrusivethoughts;
& if those are then acted upon eg “I’m holding an egg, I really want to throw the egg, oops where did the egg go?”;
Then a person saying a #racialslur is still a #racist.

I hope that clears it up.

Me: "gingivitis"

(It's actually symbolism but gingivitis is funnier)
