Intrusive thoughts are unwelcome involuntary thoughts, images, or unpleasant ideas that may become obsessions, are upsetting or distressing, and can be difficult to manage or eliminate.^[1] When they are associated with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), depression, body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), and sometimes attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), the thoughts may become paralyzing, anxiety-provoking, or persistent. Intrusive thoughts may also be associated with episodic memory, unwanted worries or memories from OCD,^[2] posttraumatic stress disorder, other anxiety disorders, eating disorders, or psychosis.^[3] According to Lee Baer (a specialist at the OCD clinic of Massachusetts General Hospital), intrusive thoughts, urges, and images are of inappropriate things at inappropriate times, usually falling into three categories: "inappropriate aggressive thoughts, inappropriate sexual thoughts, or blasphemous religious thoughts

Intrusive thoughts seem to haunt me. When my depression is out of control I seemed to be over run by intrusive thoughts. They are so disturbing and freighting. I try to control them but they are over powering. They are very self destructive. They cause a lot of distress. I am working in therapy to try to overcome these impulses. The thoughts are so demanding, demanding an action. The thoughts are violent in nature. They frighten me. I think something is majorly wrong with me.

Today was a good day. I enjoy my family so much. We had a good dinner: turkey with all the trimmings. We ate far too much, but it was so good. I hope everyone had a good day and remembered to give thanks.

One thing I have learned is "life can be short". I just got a call from back home that my brother's first wife had died. She was too young to be gone. I have felt death too much in the past few years. It makes you think how important each day is. We must take time to love and say words of kindness to those that touch our life. Tomorrow is not guaranteed. We must live each day to the fullest. Never ever stop giving and receiving love. Have a wonderful weekend and tell someone how much you love them.

It's hard to understand what I'm going through right now. I'm filled with self doubt. I know I will make it but I feel so fragile right now. I feel overwhelmed with extreme sadness. I am going through a rough time right now. Please hold me up.

Does anyone know what the normal value for amnion level in the brain is? I have been trying to find it on line and can't seem to find it. This is very important to me. Any help I would greatly appreciate.

I am having a rough day today. I feel sad and alone. I am missing Chris so much. The death of a child leaves such a deep dark hole. Some times I think everyone has forgotten Chris except me. He was such a wonderful person. I miss his sweet smile and gentleness. Chris I wish you were here!
