Terrible thoughts that are repetitive and could come into your mind at any time without a warning. Also referred to as “
Devil's Whispers”. A
common symptom of OCD, but not always is. It easily convinces everyone around you that you’re going insane.
Someone 1: *Gets a panic attack*
Someone 2: “U good?”
Someone 1: “Nope. I had that same stupid intrusive thought for the 100th time
today”
Someone 2: “Just be
positive and your intrusive thoughts will go away”
As you can
see, “Someone 2” has no idea what an intrusive thought is, and thinks it’s controllable.
