Intrusive thoughts...

[Hewhohasnoriches]

Okay, as of lately, I've been having these horrible thoughts that tell me that someone has died or is going to die or some wack sh*t like that.

I've had them for friends, family and several music figures and famous people, even people that I didn't know.

I've read that if you don't worry about those thoughts and let them pass, then they won't be a problem.

However, there are a lot of things that provoke these sorts of thoughs, and I fear that I may become indifferent to the death of others.

These thoughts make me feel very worried and scared for the people I think about. They affect me to the point where I almost believe them, though I try to convince myself that these people aren't really dead.

I have prayed to God several times about these thoughts and have asked him to protect and bless the people I worry about and to give them long lives, but these crazy thoughts just don't seem to leave me alone.

I need help. how should I deal with this. How can I get these thoughts off of my mindstate once and for all?

Also, I've recently felt some odd sense of hysteria or discomfort or something for a rapper that goes by the name of Nas. This irks me because I remember being a big fan of his music.

Though, I can respect him as a good rapper, I don't seem to be fond of his music. It's as if I like him, and at the same time, I don't like him. I really do want to appreciate his music.

I think it's because I'm getting a bit annoyed that everyone considers him the best rapper ever. But then, why should that matter?

I need to get over this discomfort, these sh*tty feelings that I get, I just feel dreadful out of nowhere when I listen to the music. Literally, my face just feels like it's curling up and I feel all depressed.

These same feelings were also previously felt for the late King of Pop, however I think they're beginning to be less of a problem now.

How can I get over these feelings? Because I know for sure I was a Nas fan. I learned about hip-hop's message through some of his songs, and listened to him heavily during mid-late seventh grade and early-mid nineth grade.

Perhaps it's also because I don't want to be a sheep that likes a musician due to popular demand of any sort.

I don't want to feel this way for any musician, unless if I have a truly legitimate reason to feel this way.

Intrusive thoughts are symptoms of many subtypes of OCD. I experience intrusive thoughts which are not even worth describing. They are often weird, sick, or outside the bounds of reality.

You have two options. If they aren't too bad, you do the same thing I do - you learn they are just an irrational chemical reaction in your brain, they don't mean anything, and you deal with them. And they won't go away but they won't bother you either after awhile, you get used to them.

Or, go to a psychiatrist. This only if they interfere with your life so much that you can not function because of them. In which case there are medications for you.

Your brain and consciousness is nothing but a series of chemical reactions. Just remember they aren't rational. Personally I think you'll be able to handle them with some self therapy. The thing about intrusive thoughts though, they don't go away if you try to 'think them away'. You have to do something, something interesting, and become consumed in it for at least a few minutes.

For the second part - just listen to music you like. When I was in middle school I loved My Chemical Romance. Now, they seem extremely bland to me. I found other bands I liked.

If you're into rap, I would recommend DZK. Find and download, you'll like.

Thanks for the advice on my intrusive thoughts. I'll try that.

As for the music thing, you could be right, but I'll still give him a chance.

*sigh* This is what I get for downloading nearly every song he's recorded from the 90's. You begin to wonder what he has left to offer. I am kind of starting to come around to him though.

I don't think he's bland or anything, in fact, his lyrics are quite good.

I'll check out DZK, if I get to it. Thanks for the recommendation.
