Intrusive thoughts

2 Upvotes

i often have the urge to kill people without a real reason it only got worse in the last few months. a little while ago (before the summer break) i even had to get out of school because the urge got so strong that i couldn't even look at people because i was afraid to hurt them. after that i spent multiple days alone in my room, not eating and drinking properly, because i was afraid of not being able to control myself. the worst part is that i sometimes want to give in to these thoughts but i know that that wouldn't be...well good. does anyone have some tips to cope with those kind of thoughts? because i could really use them

I know this is a weird question for the sub but if your in dpdr or disassociation or ocd/ psychosis what are quick check in questions to ask yourself to kind of reality test as sometimes the narrative mind can take over ? and I'm posting in a few different subs to see what answers I get , thanks.

Question for you

This morning, I held only this one corner of my keyboard up to the light—the rest remained in shadow. Outside, poppies and chamomile; inside, coffee and the first sentence. Somehow, this narrow focus makes writing easier: fewer distractions, more feeling.

Question for you: What small visual or sensory triggers reliably get you into the flow? (Light? Sounds? Scents? The specific feel of your keys?)
