Acting on intrusive thoughts

So, I’ve been struggling lately (by the way I’m finally seeing a doctor on Tuesday) and anywhere from lack of motivation, to being in fear, is coming back.
I just recently had a random intrusive thought and it was so bad, I had the horrible urge of acting on it…and well, I kinda did.
I probably shouldn’t have but I guess as long as I’m still alive.

Anyone else have this sorta problem?

Edit: Also I wanna say when it was happening, I didn’t feel in totaly control of what I was doing, like I was being forced.

hey,

Get to the doc! Weird behaviour isn’t a good thing when it comes to it.

I’ve done some weird ■■■■ under symptoms and that sort of urge isn’t good.

Get to your doc and keep well.

I used to have command hallucinations before I found meds that work. The voices would eventually wear me down until I couldn’t take it anymore.

Distractions helped. Sensory stuff too to occupy the mind, like the 5 senses game to keep me grounded and present.

I have had other people completely control my thoughts and behavior. It’s terrifying. I have done embarrassing and painful (like cutting my wrist and taking all my meds) things while under the control of “others”.

All I can say is meds, meds, meds. I say it because I, myself, don’t know what else to do for it. I haven’t had an episode of loss of control for over a year but I know how it feels, for sure.
I take my meds primarily to avoid those loss of control scenarios and for debilitating paranoia. That’s the main reason I take meds.

Sorry you are dealing with this.

If you’ve hurt someone or someones property, Stop it!
Do the right thing and contact your doc, there is no excuse for being a danger.

To everyone who replied, thanks for writing back, I’m doing okay for the time being but it was pretty scary to go through that whole ordeal.
I had no motivation to write back until now, I just wanted to thank you all for your concerns, and suggestions.

That sounds terrifying. If i even think of acting on mine is would rather die. Definitely speak with your pdoc and distract yourself. Hope you feel better soon!

I am glad you are feeling more in control. That’s good news :slight_smile:
