Afraid of my thoughts

Today thinking thoughts I shouldn’t be, afraid something bad may happen thinking, I might be taken advantage of . Hopefully it is all in my head, hope I’ll be ok, I don’t think I am always right. Would hate it if I am always right, Really like people and want to see them in the best light. Don’t want to be paranoid.

Today had some intrusive thoughts images. Was afraid that people can see and feel them. Felt like people would blame me and take measures to harm or kill me. I try not to watch tv. Does anyone feel this way?

yes, I stay away from live t.v. too many triggers. I used to think the t.v. was all about me but I am stable enough now that it doesn’t happen.

It is comforting to know others have the same feeling. I try not to watch live t.v. as well. It is strange how a person can believe every word, cut frame, and news story is somehow about them. Every nuanced cough or hand gesture…I have the same feeling with songs, too. Give the medicine some time to work if you are taking some and follow-up with psychiatrist.

I suffer from these same symptoms daily, I have for several years.

see121 explained it perfectly, that’s what it’s like for me.

see121, I will say that I couldn’t see or hear your intrusive thoughts. I was more worried about other people seeing or hearing my own. If we’re both going through the same symptom, it must be a delusion. That’s what I’m telling myself at least, but it make sense. Can I ask what your intrusive thoughts relate to? I won’t judge, you can PM me instead if that’s more comfortable.

If our intrusive thoughts are different and we aren’t experiencing each other’s, it must be a delusion.

Not too specific, just what they relate to in general. I don’t want to adopt new symptoms as my own on accident, my mind can be a fragile place.

I’ll bookmark this thread, let me know as soon as you can.

“Afraid of my thoughts” god, story of my life…

The ‘brain researchers’ were talking to my brain today. It always makes me feel a little ‘crazy’. I was a little afraid of my thoughts. I haven’t had inserted thoughts a lot lately and they were a bit chatty today. Concerning.

@47average do your meds stop the voices?

Yes, my meds help with the inserted thoughts and inner voices. Sometimes I have break through though
