Okay, so when I was 19, I had this weird OCD like, intrusive thoughts identity crisis because I'm mixed race and it lasted about a month and started to get better after I told my mom about it. It was living hell, my mind was racing constantly, I couldn't sleep, I was in physical pain because I thought I was being torn apart, it definitely left a scar in my mind. After I told about it and could cope better with it, I found from the internet that to deal with intrusive thoughts, I would just have to accept them and think about them and let them come, not fight them. I used that to fix the issue and other future issues too I have had. I wonder, if I lived in a time when internet didn't exist, how could I ever have found out about this? The thought makes me so confused, I'm basically only alive (yeah it was suicide inducing) because of the internet, otherwise I wouldn't have known how to deal with intrusive thoughts.
