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.
