I’ve been helplessly struggling with intrusive thoughts since as long I can remember. They were hard to explain. They got more drastic since the start of my teen years and gets bad to the point they make me want to commit suicide.
They ruin about everything. Things I love, critical thinking, my perception of reality, my sanity, and my mental health.
I rarely tell people because I was afraid that they were going to give me very dull advice. And it was months ago when I finally found the actual term for these thoughts. Right now my mind feels numb and worn out. (Probably gonna edit this later.)
Having intrusive thoughts means you’re already quite deep in depression, i think you need to find someone to talk to and express your feelings. It needs to be someone with empathy, it doesn’t matter if said person doesnt provide feedback but having someone that LISTENS is already a huge step. Has to be presencial.
Bonus: join a club. Like learning an instrument, a gym, any sport, reading club, a language class, etc… But it has to be a presencial activity, not online.
