Intrusive thoughts getting out of hand

Medications
1

Im not struggling to deal with them as much but they are pretty bad. Im learning to accept them and realize when the thought is not me or my deepest self speaking.

Im thinking the abilify might be causing issues. My TV delusion got worse to the point im not watching and my thoughts started to get really bad and negative about peoole I care about or like along with other people. Now my thought broadcasting is acting up because of the really :poop: thoughts lol

I think it might be time to get off of abilify. My pdoc put me on fluvoxamine for my ocd but Im just starting it today.

I bet some of you guys have dealt with meds making certain symptoms worse? For me the only thing abilify is doing is keeping my aggression down and my mood is rarely depressed..

Hope you have more good days than bad days, that’s how you win the game. Hang in there. I remember writing notes and showing them to the tv and I thought the commercials were answering what I wrote on paper. I thought every show was about this secret life I had where God was a women and she wanted to marry me sending people into my life to show me things from another world within our world. Not everyone can see it. I still believe this because I’ve seen nature shape shift, i’ve seen people and things blink out of reality, I’ve seen dead relatives shopping at the grocery store, and the list goes on. I know I’m crazy. I just accept it and try to have a good day.

They say something like 70% of thoughts or even higher are just cognitive biases, things we’ve perceived and turned into words without any real context beyond surface level meaning.

Don’t let your demons fight you like this, you have it in you to partition your mind between objective and subjective. Build that willpower, best wishes

I get them too. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, has helped me. Watching thoughts appear without comment and fade away..Influenced by mindfulness. Good luck.
