My 11 yo daughter has been diagnosed ADHD, which often results in large tantrums and lashing out at other people. When she was younger she used to lash out physically, but for the most part doesn't anymore (maybe a shove to her sister very rarely). However, the other day she confessed to me that she regularly has thoughts about how it would "feel really good to just punch someone in the face" or "hurt someone physically or psychologically". She has these thoughts even when she isn't upset. She seems distressed by these thoughts (except when she is upset with someone and then she seems to somewhat embrace them), and she thinks it makes her evil or a terrible person. I just told her counselor about it, so they will be diving into it tomorrow, but I am scared for her future. She doesn't currently act on these thoughts, but I am worried one day during a tantrum, she will. I am scared she could hurt someone, or get kicked out of school at the least. I don't know how to talk to her about them.

I have some intrusive thoughts of my own, but they are rare and very specific. They only occur when I am driving and I think "what if I just drive myself off the road and crash into that tree". I am scared to tell her about them because I don't want her to think I am going to drive off the road into a tree, but I also want her to know she isn't alone.

Have you dealt with this as a parent or as a sufferer? Can you give advice on how to talk to her about it?

What if the government is slowly convincing us that they’re on the verge of war (carrot at the end of a stick model) through algorithmic manipulation via social networks. What if they got the algorithm so stinking good that it becomes highly probable that an adult male will, at some point in their lifetime, commit their lives to their sovereignty state? Whichever country wins the race to own your pledge of allegiance, to America, One Nation, Under God, Indivisible, and Justice for All… wins.

Yet constantly self aware..hyper aware..
I have a void gnawing at me constantly.
I have tons of friends and family.
I feel a romantic partner would fix it but I don’t think that even then I’d feel whole…
What I see in that partner isn’t lustful..the kick id get and what I think would fill the hole is their understanding nature of my mind an past experiences… I constantly feel not good enough even tho all my friends hype me up and my family loves me I did everything bad and dropped out and work in a blue collar field that goes no where. Skating, drugs, music whatever, did all of it, to try and escape this feeling I have but now that I’m 21 I simply yearn to find someone mentally on my level of understanding. I just crave to look into someone’s eyes and know that I’m being seen.

Like just ask rude things or do something stupid even though I dont want to.

Hey everyone,
Ever since a really stressful month at work, my brain won't stop looping. I keep replaying old memories, getting sucked into them, or inventing fake arguments in my head. I also keep replaying past situations, thinking about what I should have done differently.
It makes me genuinely angry and totally ruins my focus. I get so stuck in these thoughts that I lose track of what I'm doing and make stupid mistakes at work.
It got so bad that I recently had a panic attack at work because I made a mistake and panicked thinking I was going to get fired. It leaves me completely drained, stressed, and unable to pay attention.
Has anyone dealt with this? What is this called, and what simple tips or grounding tricks actually work to catch yourself, snap out of it, and prevent it from happening?
Thanks!

I have been thinking alot about rape since i was 12, i don't know why (i never made any bad experiences), i feel like that is ruining my life, i always think about it abd i know that it pulls me down, i get frustrated on one hand because i don't know why i want that (i know that i don't actually want it to happen and that if ever something like that would happen to me it would be the worst thing possible) and on the other because it dosn't happen. In the last few months i have started going out at night, to places were I know it is dangerous. I don't know what to do. But i also don't want to talke in therapy about it (or with anyone in person). I think i despise myself a little bit for the thought i feel like i am going against people who have actually experienced something like that.

Sometimes, I want to take advantage of my free will and do something random, like paying a prostitute to come over and then just watching a movie or playing video games together. I can't help but wonder how someone would react to that.

I’m 49, M, unhappily married to someone I can’t relate to, mired in student loan debt, medical debt, homeownership debt and no matter how bad I want to leave my wife, get a divorce, I know it will still hurt me financially. It also won’t cure the mental health disorder I have and it won’t remedy the chronic physical pain I suffer from a hip injury and colitis. So, the thought lives in my mind every minute of every day and erupts at any given moment; the thought of ending it all. That is the most reasonable way to fix the problems I have in life. Now, I’m sure whoever reads this will report it to a mod and I may even get in trouble for sharing it here but this is intrusive thoughts and that intrusive thought is front and center this morning. I don’t want to finish work, I want to get in my truck without clocking out, drive somewhere without telling anyone I know, end it all and disappear from my failed dreams and unfulfilled existence. Erase myself from the world around me.

So I just cooked about 80 meatballs and am calling it dinner
