Thoughts that control me.

21% Normal
15 Comments

There is something weird that has been happening to me in the last 2 years. I have involuntary thinking and acting. If something pops into my mind I have to say it or do it. I can't keep it in because then I feel like I'm going to explode. One time after my daughter was born a thought popped into my mind to cover her face with a blanket. I didn't do it. I told my boyfriend about it. It's dangerous stuff like that that happens. when I drive, I want to swerve into the other lane because my mind is telling me to. or to drive into a ditch. this cannot be normal can it? it if not, what could be wrong with me?

    Yes it's normal (in that you're not the only one), but it's also dangerous. Do you know enough always not to do things you feel compelled to?

    It is wise to seek some help. Go to a therapist
    They will help you. You should be in charge of your actions.

    i have the same thing but i don't feel as compelled to do it.
    it may have something to do with Tourette syndrome. you don't have ticks, it sounds like. but if you feel the need to do these things, it's unusual and it would probably help to talk to a professional about them. it's not you making the choice, it's the feeling and your mind. you realize it's bad, and that's a good thing. ^^

    Tourette's syndrome. Like cartman in that episode of south park where he just blurted stuff out all the time right? It's actually surprisingly common, I watched a documentary about it. It was about this girl who would constantly say nigger even if she was out in public! They were walking through the airport in a crowd of people and this girl just randomly and uncontrollably yelled NIGGERS! It was pretty funny but also very sad :( sorry to hear it, I think its incurable

    I'm not sure what that is, but you should seek help ASAP. Talk to your family and friends, and go to a therapist or psychiatrist. If thoughts are controlling you I'm sure there's a medicine that can help.

    It is OCD and u can get help. Try counseling and if that isn't working maybe a psychiatrist. I used to be like this so badly as a child!!! I had no idea it wasn't normal. I would have to touch things do things etc... Luckily I outgrew this. A common reason for this behavior is that your life is so stressful and u r not happy so your mind does this so u can have some aspect of control in your life.

    Please see a doctor. What you're doing is dangerous.

    I have a similar issue but not as bad. Mine is almost like OCD. For example, if I open the fridge door an one of my fingers doesn't touch the handle, I have to walk back and touch it. This applies to other things as well, like compulsively holding down the trigger on my xbox controller or touching the sides of the mouse wheel with my ring (never any other finger) finger.

      that is kinda like what happens. If there are two things that are just alike, and i touch one. It will drive me insane if i don't touch the other one.

    It is good that you realize this could be a problem. It IS a problem, especially if these thoughts actually come as some form of urges. Apparently you're having some problems with some stressful situations, and it's bothering you to extremes at inappropriate times later on. Seek consultation and treatment, and be cooperative and accepting of their advice. Question things that you don't understand, because I'm sure that confusion stresses anyone. As long as you remain willing to help yourself, I'm sure others will be more willing to help you out too.

    Please listen to your heart and do not hurt anyone.
