I get intrusive thoughts. I just sort of gather them, line them up like I have autism, inspect them, then gather them in a bag, tie it up and stomp it down the toilet and then flush it several times.
That means I analyze and fact check my thoughts and then discard them once they show up as symptoms of psychosis or obsessive disorders. The two overlap- psychosis and obsessive disorders. The new specifier for OCD patients at their worst is something like “practically psychotic”.

I get really mad when these things happen and the only why I know how to deal with them is to just let it happen and pass.
My voices are with me 24/7 so I don’t get intrusive thoughts just thoughts. The thing I notice with my voices is they are just curious about things so I talk to them and explain things to them this just stops all of it in it’s tracks. If I am thinking about something and then all of a sudden feel that I can’t leave that thought then I realize they have questions and I explain it to them. Triggered thoughts are actually just thoughts about your thoughts.

Intrusive thoughts are worst part of my life.I think if i didn’t have them,i would be free from psihosis.Everything started with them,while i started to pray and go to church.Within a month i got this weird sexual and blashemous thoughts I couldn’t overcome.It took me years to discover that is a part of schizofrenia,actualy it’s ocd symptom.I simpatise with you.

As been a part of ocd,you can start antidepresants for ocd.
for every negitive thought, try make 2 positives thoughts…, train your mind on peaceful tranquil thoughts…ive learnt to control my mind most of the time

I don’t try to “stop” them so much as use Buddhist / Taoist methods to “observe them out of energy.” (Looking straight into one’s upsetting thoughts and emotions has been known to de-energize them for at least 2500 years in Asian cultures.)
The following Western therapies are known to accomplish that for many patients:

to renew is what i do
Lately I have been trying to be aware of negative vs positive thoughts bc I want to train myself out of negativity, but first that takes recognition. Then when I finally become aware I have to say things to myself like,“where am I, what am I doing…” I have to get “present” and then I can ask myself to say something nice to myself.

I can’t. I just have to bear with them, as unpleasant as they are. I would also like to know how to get rid of them.
I remember when I was younger we had a cockroach infestation in the house I lived in and for a while I barely ate because those things still gross me out and I had intrusive thoughts of them so I couldn’t eat when they happened. Of course now I can watch things like 2 girls 1 cup and would be able to eat if I wasn’t laughing so hard…
I take Lexapro, seems to do the trick.
