What thoughts exactly
They are only intrusive because you aren't dealing with them
>>219346286I have intrusive thoughts about things around me being dirty and me needing to clean and disinfect them to avoid becoming dirty myself.
>>219346372Technically you shouldn't deal with themIt's just his brain exaggerating and making up shit, he shouldn't give it slack
>>219346389This feels like a case of OCD. Depending on how bad it is, I would either suggest medical help or just picking up the sanitizer and getting to work.

>>219346258You process them one by one.1. Succinctly formulate them with 100% unbridled honesty2 Rationalize them and identify what’s causing them.3. Formulate a set of instructions to tackle the issue or postpone the solution until a good option arises or you learn a skill that will resolve it.Remember, your brain isn’t stupid, there is a reason for every thought that pops in your head that you must learn to interpret correctly and not ignore them and end up with a clutter of accumulated unprocessed thoughts.Amygdala sends warning signals and it’s the prefrontal cortex’s job to analyze them and generate a solution.
>>219346413I suppose if you can get into this mindset, and trivialize your intrusive thoughts enough that you genuinely believe they're worthless, then it's a good solutionAt least for me it doesn't work and I have no choice but to confront in the end
>>219346526And if a thought is irrational btw, you should acknowledge that too.In my case most of irrational thoughts were caused by dysfunctional mindsets that I grew up being surrounded by that I figured I needed to actively debunk and reject.
>>219346258Assuming they are a symptom of lacking neurotransmitters here..."Exciting" thoughts is a subconcious compensation causing a release of adrenalin. Adrenalin can stimulate at least one type of receptors for dopamin (D2). Evolutionary it serves the purpose of enabling to find nutrition and fibers to support a healthy gut microbiome again. It's literally "instincts" getting a hold of you.Dr. Terry Wahl has developed an easy diet that might work for you, called The Wahl's Protocol (see her YouTube channel). >theory on Gut bacteria and mind control (timestamp @ 39:54)https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=2394&v=mioR_WrkRaU>Terry Wahls M.Dhttps://www.youtube.com/@TerryWahlsMD
