I know that's right. you'd think it'd make it easier to sleep. but it don't. not for me anyway. I need some outside noise or my brain don't shut up

I'm a very anxious person and I have some obsessive compulsive tendencies so my mind is racing constantly.

I'm also very sensitive to noise when I'm trying to sleep, sounds keep me awake or, if I'm already sleeping, wake me easily.

I have to have a fan going or I can't sleep.

The solution is to never sleep again, just like in that scary movie. You know the one. "Bad Dream on Maple Drive."

I also have intrusive thoughts that I don't like.

So when it's quiet I have them a lot.

Stuff I'd never do but the thoughts come anyway.

They're not hallucinations, there aren't any voices telling me things, I just have the sudden impulse to do weird shit like hit myself with a hammer or jump off a bridge, shit like that.

I went to a therapist about it but I didn't feel like I was getting what I needed and quit going.

She gave me a preliminary diagnosis but I stopped my sessions before she could really get very far. I don't have compulsions to count stuff or touch certain things but I just have weird thoughts pop into my head and I get into repetitive thought loops that go forever if I don't have something to distract me.

I might have a touch of the crazy.

These thoughts are part of being human, and need not ruin quality of life. Treatment is available when the thoughts are associated with OCD and become persistent, severe, or distressing.

A variant of aggressive intrusive thoughts is L'appel du vide, or the call of the void. Sufferers of L'appel du vide generally describe the condition as manifesting in certain situations, normally as a wish or brief desire to jump from a high location.
