21 Creepy Facts Not For The Faint-Hearted, As Shared On This Instagram Page

Very common. I get it whenever I'm up somewhere high. I'm not suicidal for a moment my brain will be like "We should jump! Wouldn't it be cool if we jumped? What would jumping feel like?!"

Very good to know.

Um, sorry, Candy Cane . . . I'm eating your Starburst relative rn

I empathise a lot with having this feeling all the time. And just to say that humour is a great coping mechanism. Sometimes we use it to deflect from the seriousness of the situation, or simply to avoid feeling vulnerable. So, I am proud of you for allowing yourself to be vulnerable for a moment, Stormdances, because it's really hard at times.

those are intrusive thoughts, they kinda suck

Aw...Yeah, I know that. Still though, think of all the people who weren't born- and you were. Not in a way that means, like, "get off your a** and work", but like, just the fact that you exist means that you're special, even if you don't feel it. I'm not a sappy person or anything, but it's cool to think that you have some interesting reason to be here. I don't know what my reason is, and sometimes I forget it even exists, and I'm not sure I believe in fate, but that's okay. Sometimes when I get a little...y'know (I'm also bipolar and autistic, personally), I like to put on noise-cancelling headphones (the big-a*s ones that kinda hug your ears) and pretend I'm listening to everything from underwater. It's cool to be sitting on a park bench or something and put my headphones on and feel like fish are about to start appearing in the trees (I also have blue-tinted cloud sunglasses so that could attribute to it). (getting too long I'll respond to this)

Manic depressive here and those thoughts are constantly telling me to jump b/c I'm not worth the air I breath. But with meds I can basically pretend to be a happy functioning person for my kid all while dying inside. But at least I appear happy.

That’s suicidal ideation or a death wish, then. Maybe there’s a technical term for death wish, I’m not sure. Had that for a huge portion of my life, though.

Extra points if your car door hits a cyclist!!!

😆 what why

I get that one, but I'm a passenger. I imagine me landing on the motorway (freeway) as the car drives off, with bewildered driver at the wheel.

I think they're a type of intrusive thought. Intrusive thoughts can be other things though, like traumatic memories, or those pesky 3 am memories of some embarrassing thing you did 10 years ago.

Thats religion talking

I think they’re a specific kind of intrusive thought.

Sorry to hear that, but 'wife lady'? as opposed to who, please?

These Thoughts For Me Manifest During Times Of Prolonged (And Then Extended...But Wait Yes: Extended Again) Primarily Mental Stress. I'd Been Squeezing My Stick Too Hard For Eay Too Long With An End In Sight That Would Repeatedly Evaporate Just Short Of Closing The Deal. I Believe These Rando-Thoughts (Mine Was Triggeted Exclusively By The Bleach Bottle) Allowed My Brain To Shuffle The Deck; Something I Couldn't Do Naturally Die To An Extended State Of Hyper Vigilance. Note: All Of This Is First Person Stuff Meaning: Me Diagnosing Myself. Please Give Credit Where Credit Is Due If You Find (eg) Terminology Helpful. Thanx

If it's worrying you, I'd say go and talk to someone.

I'm not sure as to the why, but it is different than hearing voices. The internal thoughts and imaginings of the average person are not the same as a "command hallucination," which, as I understand it, is like actually like hearing a voice from outside your body not conducting the internal monologue.

I don't hear any voices, I just get an urge to jump out of a fast-moving car, driven by someone else.

Not quite. It's more a split second where your brain says "what if...?"

You Can Read My Anseer To Your Question Above. I Was Plagued By This For A Period Of Time. Not Before And Never Since

I think so. The universe did this specifically for my 23rd birthday. Seems like it went all out for number 23 as it has been slacking off the past 12 years

Mine too!!^^

Wow. That makes me sad. Good reason for him to be an ex. I saw them once in Northern WI but it was very faint.

Sheesh!!! He's definitely the AH! See and NOT show, NOT tell would be bad enough... THAT was worse!
