im glad tumblr is normalizing the idea of dealing with and understanding having intrusive thoughts but as much fun as it is to see jokes about it, please realize that certain disorders, such as OCD, come with very horrible, violent, sexual, and disgusting intrusive thoughts and that the people with those thoughts can still be good people and deserve support even if there’s not a single intrusive thought that they can make jokes about

we also need to destigmatize it further because it took me years to realise those thoughts aren’t me at all, but i didnt even know these were intrusivs thoughts. i thought they were an indication of who i really was, which took SUCH a fucking toll on me during puberty and it stopped me from developing in certain ways that STILL has effects on my life
