Kombucha 09/15/18 4:00:22 PM #4:	yeah, i've had these pop in before i go to bed on occasion but i doubt they fall into the category of disturbing. they are almost always related to some past event that i'm still processing, whether menial or large. i've found the best solution is to ask yourself if the thought makes sense and if your attitude towards it is reasonable. do you need to forgive yourself or someone else before you can move on? is the way you've framed yourself or others reasonable? once i address both of these they tend to not come up again or remain intrusive, i call this cognitive maintenance. most people just pay a psychologist to help them through it. maybe their past experiences get so lost in the subconscious that they just have repetitive and overwhelmingly disturbing thoughts. if it gets frequent and bad enough a psychologist or therapist would be the best option. --- http://www.last.fm/user/walkingishonest <cite>Kombucha posted [p:908814287] in Does anyon...

I was able to rationalize it by thinking about how the brain works. It probably takes in all the information around me and processes different types of scenarios. Most scenarios are probably discarded for not being really pertinent. Sometimes though, the fucked up ones stick out. When that happens I'm just like, it's prolly the conscious side of my brain being fixated on a random oddity occurring from my unconscious side. --- https://imgur.com/fsYJcFn https://imgur.com/SZie71I Starcraft 2 Username = Gears <cite>WalkingLobsters posted [p:908814393] in Does anyon...

When that happens I'm just like, it's prolly the conscious side of my brain being fixated on a random oddity occurring from my unconscious side. yeah i think the bit about exposure therapy in the wiki probably works in favor with this. if you're willing to sit with the thought for a minute, think about what it was and where it came from and face it in a productive way and make sense of it- the less likely the thought will resurface. i think when people start ignoring them that's when they begin to drive deeper into the subconscious and multiply. this might sound weird but i have a suspicion that it is the minds way of saying "hey, make sense of this for me/this needs processed" and when you decide to ignore it for whatever reason, it's like sweeping dirt under a rug. the dirt is still going to be there. --- http://www.last.fm/user/walkingishonest <cite>Kombucha posted [p:908815431] in Does anyon...

Kombucha 09/15/18 4:36:27 PM #14:	vocedelmorte posted... No, because I am not mentally unstable .... Like other unwanted intrusive thoughts or images, everyone has some inappropriate sexual thoughts at times Exposure therapy will not completely eliminate intrusive thoughtseveryone has bad thoughtsbut most patients find that it can decrease their thoughts sufficiently that intrusive thoughts no longer interfere with their lives.[55] Many people experience the type of bad or unwanted thoughts that people with more troubling intrusive thoughts have, but most people can dismiss these thoughts.[1] For most people, intrusive thoughts are a "fleeting annoyance".[5] Psychologist Stanley Rachman presented a questionnaire to healthy college students and found that virtually all said they had these thoughts from time to time, including thoughts of sexual violence, sexual punishment, "unnatural" sex acts, painful sexual practices, blasphemous or obscene images, thoughts of harming elderly people or someone close to them, violence against animals or towards children, and impulsive or abusive outbursts or utterances.[6] Such bad thoughts are universal among humans, and have "almost certainly always been a part of the human condition".[7] --- http://www.last.fm/user/walkingishonest <cite>Kombucha posted [p:908816100] in Does anyon...
