They’re inappropriate thoughts.

Yeah I do. The only thing that helps me is to let them pass and not fight them. When I feel a intrusive thought, I let it pass and then pay attention to my senses.

Important to realize that everyone has intrusive thoughts. It’s not exclusive to ppl with psychosis.

Good luck :crossed_fingers:

Have you noticed anything that triggers them? Like alcohol for instance?

Intrusive thoughts are probably a symptom of OCD from what I remember. So maybe you could get treated for them.

One member here said L-theanine helped her with her intrusive thoughts, for a while at least.

I recommend the brand in the link above. I think it’s out of stock at the moment though.
