Answer from: biggasi

number of people have written to me about their unwanted, obsessive thoughts after I published my article on obsessive compulsive disorder some time ago, titled Those

Of particular note have been people who wrote about their fear that they “might be gay” because 1) they have a thought, “I might be gay," 2) they believe that it would be terrible if they were gay, and 3) having a thought is a sign that you are gay.

Now, certainly if someone is gay, it is an important period of growth and courage to recognize that this is the case and to embrace one’s true identity. Not to sound like a cliché, but there is nothing “wrong” with being gay, and there is something dehumanizing in rejecting one’s true identity. However, the people who are writing to me indicate that their sexual history is heterosexual, they do not feel aroused by gay fantasies, and that they are troubled by these thoughts. So I thought I would address some of these issues here.

Here is how obsessive people think of their thoughts (from my book, Anxiety Free):

People who suffer from OCD have certain characteristic ways of evaluating their own obsessive thoughts. These often take the form of false beliefs that not only distort reality, but strengthen the obsessions. I have listed below problematic ways of thinking about your thoughts and some possible realistic and helpful ways of challenging your intolerance of these thoughts. See if any of this fits you.

My thoughts are abnormal. The things that go through my head are totally weird. Other people don’t have thoughts like this. There must be something wrong with me.

The obsessive person believes that the thought, “I might be gay," is unusual, weird, and unique to him or her. But isn’t it possible that anyone can have this thought? What is so “wrong” or “weird” about having a thought? What if you normalized any thought as acceptable?

My thoughts are dangerous. Imagining a certain reality could make it come true. If I can’t control or eliminate the images in my mind, there will be terrible consequences. The more I think about bad things happening, the more likely it is that they’ll happen.

The obsessive believes that they must rid their mind of the “unwanted thought” that they are gay lest it come true and they unravel, lose control, and experience terrible consequences. This is a form of “thought-action fusion” where you believe that your thoughts and images will become reality. Of course, you can have the thought that there are white bears dancing in the waiting room but, if you look, there will be no white bears.

I can control my thoughts. If I keep bad thoughts from entering my mind, they can’t exert power over me. I can influence the kind of thoughts I have through effort and willpower. Giving my thoughts free rein is too dangerous to be an option.

This is a form of “pure mind” thinking where you believe that you need to rid your mind of any unwanted thoughts. But the mind is a noisy place, filled with lots of information—most of it irrelevant. Moreover, the more you try to suppress the thought about white bears, the more likely you will have these thoughts.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

analyze the effectiveness of this excerpt. how does it function within the speech as a whole? how does the structure of the excerpt to convey the speech's purpose and key points? support your argument with evidence from the speech. (10 points)

Read the excerpts from “take the tortillas out of your poetry” and “speaking arabic.” my friend had concluded that if he took his language and culture out of his poetry, he stood a better chance of receiving a fellowship. he took out his native language, the poetic patois of our reality, the rich mixture of spanish, english, pachuco and street talk which we know so well. in other words, he took the tortillas out of his poetry, which is to say he took the soul out of his poetry. at a neighborhood fair in texas, somewhere between the german oom-pah sausage stand and the mexican gorditas booth, i overheard a young man say to his friend, “i wish i had a heritage. sometimes i feel—so lonely for one.” and the tall american trees were dangling their thick branches right down over his head. which best states how the structures of both excerpts support ideas about cultural diversity? each incorporates non-english words. each incorporates academic words. each incorporates offensive words. each incorporates nonsense words.
