To ask what intrusive thoughts you get?

[ObtrusiveIntrusuive]

I'm pretty sure I have undiagnosed OCD, the pure O type. I'm having a flare up at the moment so thought I'd reach out try to talk about it here to stop myself spiralling into "I've lost the plot" territory as I know it's actually quite common

Mine manifests itself as thoughts about harm mostly, for example if I'm at the train station 'my toddler could fall into the gap between the train and the platform' or if I'm crossing a bridge 'I would die if I jumped over this'

When my children were tiny I would get regular ones about dropping them.

I've had slightly less sinister ones too like envisioning myself throwing a drink over whoever I'm talking to.

What intrusive thoughts do you get?

I'm so pleased I came across this thread and find it strangely comforting that other people have such intrusive thoughts as well. I can relate to the majority of what's been posted above. My most frequent ones are pushing people into the road, swerving my car into oncoming traffic and pouring a boiling hot cup of tea over whoever I'm sat closest to. I would never dream of acting on these and find them really quite disturbing.
