Does anyone else get intrusive thoughts? Anxiety

[lucy121]

Hi, Im scared.

Sometimes I look at my family members and intrusive thoughts pop into my brain. I don't know where they come from. Does anyone else get these type of intrusive thoughts?

HI Lucy welcome to the forums

Hi Lucy,

Well done for talking about it When it first started happening to me I couldn't tell anyone. I have been suffering from Intrusive thoughts for many years now and am currently having a slight relapse after 2 years with good control of the thoughts. When I learnt that Intrusive thoughts are a major type of OCD I felt a form of relief that I was not alone. I hope this can help you too 🙂
