Does anyone’s voices/intrusive thoughts act like a sentient person? Not just being mean or telling you to do bad things. For example, I came back in from a smoke and i left my lighter upside down and it wouldn’t leave me be until i fixed it. Then when i did, it told me i was right for listening and then my brain started to hurt. I dunno just curious.
I typically see 2 - 5 old friends in my head bothering me to give them money - they seem to think I have a buncha money but I’m hoarding it all and living under a bridge so they want to make my life a living hell if I don’t pay them — morons – I have a place to live and I’m dirt poor
I used to. But with meds the sensation of having different people living in my head is gone.
Yeah, my intrusive thoughts are about certain people and the thought acts like it is that person hanging around to troll me. The more I enjoy what I’m doing in spite of the presence the weaker they get, because it’s invalidating their power. I’m not going to put my life on hold because it’s there. And of course I know my defective brain has made an imposter so I finish it off with logic. Then the intrusive thought eventually stops coming and I can handle it if it returns. It took a while for me to get to this point.
tldr: it is possible to yeet on intrusions.
I have an intrusive thought character / person, and old grumpy man with a panamahat. When i was young he was pestering my life, but now he i is just sad and tired and tells me he is old and don’t have the energy to pester me anymore, he tells me the only reason he comes, is because i’m tired and stressed. Then i go to bed and he disappears after ten minutes and im free in my own thoughts again…
I have also wondered how a disease can not only talk to you but also do so intelligently. I find it’s best not to think about it. People speak to you in dreams right? Same basic principle I think.
