I don't get it.

Intrusive thoughts are thoughts coming by themselves about bad things when you are somewhat close to a violent or dangerous situation.
For instance, if you give a baby to someone with intrusive thoughts, they could momentarily have the idea of hurting the baby, even if they don't intent to. Or such person standing near a cliff or up a bridge could have the sudden urge to jump (often called "call of the void"). Or, someone with intrusive thoughts seeing a train coming at full speed in front of them could have sudden thoughts about jumping over the rails.
But who knows. Maybe it's just me.

Oh, yeah, that makes sense. I just didn't make the leap (ha) to suicidal ideation.
