Intrusive thoughts. For me, intrusive thoughts are like this. I won't be too specific, wouldn't want to trigger anyone, and don't want to embarrass myself.

This is metaphorical... sort of, but not really.

I'm trying to watch a movie I like, maybe it's actually a movie, maybe it's just a good day. The channel changes on it's own, and there's porn that I don't like, as well as disgusting horror movie gore mixed in. I get this all the time.

It's like I'm listening to a song I like, and then the song gets turned off and interrupted by loud farts and people who hate the song that I like, saying things like this song sucks, or whatever.

Of course, this is all thoughts, not hallucinations or anything. It's like my brain just loses control and starts thinking of the worst possible things that I do not want to think of.

If I walk behind a parent holding a baby I worry that I'll somehow trip the parent so that he or she will fall and the baby will get hurt. Even if I'm walking several meters behind them. If I walk down stairs I often see this "picture" of me falling down the stairs knocking out my teeth. If I'm on a balcony I often think about jumping down (even though I'd never do it since I'm not suicidal) or throwing my phone off the balcony. Sometimes I also struggle quite a bit with thinking I will go to hell.

Are these intrusive thoughts or just "normal" worries?


I've had that too.

Now that I'm older, I've concluded that it's our Personal Demon.

Just tell him to go away and leave you alone.
