intrusive thoughts

[butterfly3]

my intrusive thoughts go completely against my morals and make me feel lime killing myself even more. i dont even wanna explain what they're like, all i know is they gibe me so much anxiety, guilt and rumination. they actually calmed down over the past few months, but the effects of them still remain, like when i get them in dreams, or just the anxiety. im such a bad person and i just need to kill myself. this paired with all the other problems in my life makes life completely unbearable

You are not a bad person. Sometimes your mind can work against you, but intrusive thoughts don't make you a bad person. Intrusive thoughts are just that: intrusive. You shouldn't blame yourself for someone breaking into your house, and you aren't a bad person because your mind works against you and supplies you with unwanted thoughts. You are more than your unwanted thoughts

what makes a thought intrusive is the fact that we don't want it -- that alone shows you aren't a bad person. bad people don't feel guilty for thinking bad thoughts.

That sounds very awful what you are going through, I'm sorry that you are suffering so much. It is horrible how our thoughts are capable of torturing us. I wish you the best.

I understand. I also have intrusive thoughts. Some thoughts will play on a loop or pop up constantly out of nowhere. It is painful, feeling that your own mind is working against you. Of course you are not a bad person for having these thoughts.
