Intrusive Thoughts & AuDHD
Manage episode 465706515 series 3589740
Mini episode on my experience with intrusive thoughts and how/when they stopped being distressing.
Monotropic brains tend toward thought loops and thus can make intrusive thoughts pretty easily.
In my case, I think my brain was in part trying to generate interest when my needs were not being met. Dopamine is also a learning chemical that tells the brain to pay attention right now.
This is just my experience... Please seek professional help if you're having distressing intrusive thoughts!
