  • oh god I’ve lost so much sleep over intrusive thoughts too. In the past I was always afraid that someone would hurt me in the night and so as I was falling asleep (I sleep on my stomach) I had to turn around and scan the room every couple of seconds. I couldn’t sleep in the dark because then it was harder to check the room so I slept with the lights on. I didn’t get over that until last year. And yeah you’re right, the only way to get over it is just ignoring it. No matter how many times I thought to myself “no one is actually there” it never comforted me and I had to turn around and check. The only thing that worked was ignoring it. God that month or so when I started refusing to turn around but before the intrusive thought really went away I got almost no sleep
