Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

To paraphrase George Carlin: why do the voices always say to do evil things? Why aren't they ever like "go take a shit on the salad bar"
Intrusive thoughts are absolutely normal. If you're literally hearing audio, then yeah that's a medical thing to look into. But if you're just getting "bad" ideas, that's not necessarily a problem unless it becomes so frequent that you think it's a problem. A lot of mental health is like that. I.e. if it starts to bother you, it's worth working on.
I hope it all works out for you!
