🧠 What Are Intrusive Thoughts? Those random, bizarre brain pop-ups that crash into your day—like the urge to yell “VIVA LA CARAMEL FRAPPUCCINO” in Starbucks or swerve your car into a mailbox. You didn’t plan them, you definitely don’t want them, but there they are.
🎮 Storytime Moment Raheesh recounts the SAT showdown where, mid-question, his brain screamed “I FORGOT HOW TO READ”—and he nearly lost it in a silent exam hall. Cue the internal panic, beads of shame sweat, and epic mental negotiation: “Maybe let’s not get banned by the College Board today?”
⚙️ Why They Happen Think of your mind as a group chat between logic, fear, and a sleep-deprived raccoon with a megaphone. Intrusive thoughts are just random threat-detector glitches, not reflections of your character or desires.
🎧 Why Listen? If you’ve ever wondered “Am I the only one who thinks this stuff?”—you’re not alone. Learn to label that thought (“Intrusive thought!”), let it pass, and maybe even crack a nervous laugh.
💡 Takeaway Your thoughts ≠ your identity. They’re fleeting brain burps that lose power when you observe them without panic.
➡️ Tune In Now to Episode 1 of CareForBrains: “Why Did I Just Think That?” and start seeing those mental gremlins for what they really are—just noise.
