| Making noises is fun! It's kind of a shame that we have to install filters when we reach adulthood. You should never lose the kid inside. Out of curiosity (and assuming that it's anyone's business), how do you interrupt the impulse? Is it gone with just an obvious thought like "Not now," o... |

| Stop watching those films (read instead, if you remain interested in the general subject), don't watch television (you'll thank yourself later, for many reasons), and avoid those awful "social networks" that are so trendy these days. |

| You is good. You is kind. You is okay, just the way you is. Just try interrupting the thoughts. Even if you only manage to stave them off for 30 minutes longer than before, that's still exposure therapy. You are exposing yourself to the feelings associated to not giving in to the compulsions, will ... |

| I don't know how it would fit in, but it's seems there's an element of persecution in these thoughts to. When I was little, I had heard that the only unforgivable sin (Christian) was blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. I did not have a clue what that was, but I was afraid I had done it. That thought kept... |

| Hey, everyone. I'm Mike. I'm not sure if this qualifies as a mental illness, or even a dysfunction. Compared with what many of you are dealing with, it seems like peanuts.
