The way we think colors our view of the world<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We have millions of thoughts a day, but we don\u2019t notice every coming thought. In fact, mostly we just go through them as fish swim through the water yet the other times we do notice them. NORMAL thoughts help us think, plan, and keep humans going. But there are some thoughts that come out of nowhere, like a whoosh, these stuck in our minds, indulge us in an endless loop of overthinking hence causing a great deal of anxiety – these are intrusive thoughts<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Intrusive thoughts are unwanted images, sounds, or statements that pop into our heads at times. These can cause distress, since the nature of the thought might be violent or disturbing. \u00a0These are often repetitive \u2013 with the same kind of thought cropping up again and again.<\/p>\n

Some unwanted intrusive thoughts consist of repetitive doubts about relationships, small and big decisions, sexual orientation or identity, intrusions of thoughts about safety, death or worries about questions that cannot be answered with certainty. Some are just weird thoughts that make no apparent sense. Unwanted Intrusive thoughts can be very explicit, and many people are ashamed and worried about them, like one of the most common types of intrusive thought relates to concerns about safety or risk<\/strong>. These types of thoughts are frequently expressed as visions, such as driving a car through a crowd of people, injuring or killing another person, or envisioning a loved one terribly injured or dead<\/strong>. New mothers frequently worry about their baby being harmed<\/strong>. Equally common are blasphemous thoughts<\/strong>. Milder forms of intrusive thoughts come in the form of our own critical voice: the one in our heads that tells us things like \u2018You\u2019ll never get that job, you\u2019re not good enough\u2019, \u2018you\u2019re going to look stupid if you do that\u2019, or \u2018They don\u2019t like you and they\u2019re talking about you behind your back\u2019<\/strong>. Religious intrusive thoughts<\/strong> include \u201cAllah is not happy with me\u201d or \u201cgoing to hell\u201d. Due to unemployment in country intrusive thoughts also emerge as scenarios of getting dismissed from job. If someone has post-traumatic stress disorder<\/strong> (PTSD) they can have intrusive thoughts about the event that caused it \u2013 which could be observing or being in an accident or natural disaster. Following a traumatic incident, the brain can be hardwired to remind you of it. These reminders, also called flashbacks<\/strong>, might come in the form of sounds or images, and you\u2019ll experience the same physical symptoms you did back then \u2013 for example, an elevated heart rate.<\/p>\n

When Intrusive thoughts are harmful<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

As long as you recognize that these are only thoughts and you have no desire to act on them, intrusive thoughts aren\u2019t harmful. We need to understand that they\u2019re not warning messages or red flags, they\u2019re simply thoughts. But if you get entangled with them and obsessed about them so much that it interrupts your day-to-day life, this can be a sign of an\u00a0underlying mental health problem.<\/strong><\/p>\n
