intrusive thoughts are back - please help

Saltandchili March 21st, 2021

I am so confused. with everything not going to lie bt especially to do with the thoughts i'm having. i got over my depression, my internalised homophobia but now. now i just have horrible intrusive thoughts about harming myself all the time. (i have never self harmed). like for instance i work in a fast food place and i constantly imagine me putting my hands into the oil or onto a hot stove ect. also i always have theses "dreams" about someone or some people hurting me like REALLY BAD. and then someone finds me but im basically dead and for some reason i dont find it scary, which scares me soooo much. im not sure if they go together but maybe? i got triggered by a post and this is when all this came, i am so confused and it seems like now i am just getting more and more of them. i also feel like im getting more and more detached from reality, which is creeping me out as well!

if someone has any advice or any guess of what is happening please reply because i am desperate.

thank you

@Saltandchili- Have you considered some of the sources on 7 cups listed under My Path? There are 2 sections - one called Mindfullness that has some exercises dealing with the issues you described. The other one is also under the My Path- Self-help guides. Also have you considered chatting 1:1 with a listener to start decompressing from these thoughts. I wish you the best. Take care.
