scary intrusive thoughts so I am a 20/f who is currently seeing a therapist for my problems. Well she knows i have a lot of anxiety, which i inherited from my mother. Well for the past few years I've been having some scary thoughts. Like for example I've had so many thoughts of my mom and dad getting hurt like in a car accident or someone trying to kill them, and i have no idea why. Also when my brother comes home i worry when he goes out that he'll never return and i always wait for him. There was another time when i was volunteering and i saw this adorable little girl who had down syndrome, and she was wearing this necklace and i kept imagining that someone will choke her. I didn't realize how serious this stuff was till today when i read that these are called intrusive thoughts on the internet. I have ADHD, and i heard these thoughts could be associated with that maybe? I see a psychiatrist for my ADHD and other issues, and then a psychologist as well. She doesn't know, because i am not sure how to tell her, since whenever i've told her anything she tells me i am fine and not to worry, or she'll think i am just making this up for attention. So what should i do?

We are not the ones who will have the answers to your question. This is what your therapist is for.
What I will say and I believe your therapist may agree is: If you perceive it then it is real to you. It does not make it true or that something will happens that you perceive. It is the thought itself that is real to you. It is the thoughts and the reason behind them that you need to work in in therapy. ]
talk to your psychologist thats what hes for and everyone has some disturbing thoughts .its how you react.ask him about "mindfulness"or doing CBT ]
