Instructive thoughts

Omg...Holy shit. I thought I was alone on this! You do not know how great it feels to know that someone else also has this problem! (Sorry I know inappropriate but I had this problem since I was five and I'm twenty now it doesn't affect my life as much but randomly does) Honestly I have no clue. I'm pretty much in the same boat as you and felt disg...... 1 reply
I've had many disgusting dreams and after looking it up it told me my brain was telling me I wanted to be better friends with them. Idk if that's true or not but the dreams weren't pleasant so I feel you there! The killing part I've had somewhat and I have no clue what it means (￣∇￣"). I haven't figured out what to do either but good luck reply
