🧠 Every Intrusive Thought I’ve Ever Had—Categorized Welcome to the grand finale of Week 3 with Raheesh, your honorary mayor of Brain Gremlin City. In Episode 5, we’re unleashing the ultimate BuzzFeed-style listicle of every bizarre brain burp Raheesh has ever faced—broken down, over-analyzed, and served with a side of wholesome.

🔥 Category 1: The Sudden Chaos Urges – “What if I screamed during a moment of silence?” – “I could just hurl my phone off this balcony.” – “What if I ran into traffic like a Disney Channel stunt double?” (Not real desires—just your brain’s spicy ‘What If?’ Nightmare Edition.)

🎭 Category 2: The Social Spirals – “Why did I say ‘you too’ when they said happy birthday?” – “Did I sound weird saying ‘awesome sauce’ in 2023?” – “They’re totally talking about me behind my back, right?” (They’re not… and even if they are, nobody remembers this stuff.)

⚖️ Category 3: The Guilt Trips – “You didn’t reply to that text fast enough. They hate you.” – “You ate the last cookie. Monster.” – “Remember when you lied in 4th grade about reading Percy Jackson?” (Your brain’s internal Judge Judy handing out life sentences.)

📜 Quote Break

“You can’t control your first thought. But you can control your second.” — Unknown (definitely a therapist with great lighting)

💡 Wrap-Up Advice

  1. Normalize it. Everyone has intrusive thoughts—even that zen friend.
  2. Question it. Your brain is not Google; it doesn’t need to be right.
  3. Speak it out. Saying it out loud robs it of its power (and maybe gets a laugh).

➡️ Tune In Now to Episode 5 of CareForBrains: “Every Intrusive Thought I’ve Ever Had — A Dramatic Recap” and celebrate your wonderfully chaotic mind—because thoughts are just thoughts, not facts.
