Experiencing heavy, unwanted, or intrusive thoughts can feel overwhelming and frightening, and it’s easy to judge yourself for having them. While it’s important to know that these thoughts are common when your nervous system is deeply overwhelmed, you do not have to navigate them alone. Recognizing that a thought is present doesn’t mean you have to hold it by yourself.
If you or someone you know is experiencing persistent distressing thoughts, passive ideation, or a crisis, please consider connecting with a healthcare professional, a therapist, or a trusted person in your life.
