Hey Everyone! Here is this week's space to chat or vent about things which you think may be more triggering for the Community but still want to get off your chest.
Every Monday morning we will close the thread and start a new one so we have a fresh one each week. If you'd like to check out this week's venting thread that isn't triggering, click here.

im scared im gonna be arrested because my intrusive thoughts are telling me to do something illegal which is to redownload that illegal document. i know its wrong to do it but my intrusive thoughts are just being impulsive and theyre basically screaming at me to do it. so i dont know what to do.
Hey @toffuna101, thank you for bearing with me while I created this weeks triggering thread. It sounds like you're thinking of re-downloading the illegal document, it must be difficult to deal with those intrusive thoughts. You say you don't know what to do, is there anything else that you could read that's not related to this illegal document or the contents within it, but would help reduce those thoughts?
not really. nothing helps.
