So, one time I have major intrusive thoughts is when people ask me for directions at work. I know I've mentioned that I get really mad about this before. But, I get some very violent, unpleasant intrusive thoughts. Because I have to give directions upwards of 10 times every day, I am having these extremely violent thoughts a lot.

And they don't go away directly after the conversation ends. Sometimes they last 10-15 minutes after. It's worst when I have multiple calls in a row, which is very common. Then I can even get angry about it hours later and have more intrusive thoughts....

I've been trying to cope. I tell myself calm down. I try to clear my head. Take deep breathes. Take a walk around away from my desk. Try to think logically. I feel it's getting harder and harder to think logically on this issue.

I don't know if I have a question, I guess I just need to vent. I am scared of these stupid thoughts. I don't like having them all the time.
