Intrusive thoughts

So do you ever think of bad thoughts besides your voices just because you are so used to hearing so much bad things from your voices. Do you ever start or have mental pictures of the stories your voices tell you like to insult or hurt others and do you or will that be the reason why you are scared being around others? Not that i mean or want to hurt others but my voices tell me i hurt or to go and hurt others and i think people can hear that. That’s why I get scared but pls tell me your opinions or experiences. Please and thank you.

I don’t hear voices, but I just wanted to say that when I see a person insulting or hurting others I realize that person is hurting too.

Intrusive thoughts are natural. We all have them. In fact, when I started therapy this was one of the areas I brought up to my psychologist who helped me to understand them. We all have them. Just ensure you are honest with your doctors when you begin to start listening or becoming influenced by these thoughts

I don’t think I’m influenced but let me explain in a nice way. For example, I’ll be hearing a voice talking nonsense then I think of the word knife and then my best friend’s name so my voice makes up an ugly story about it and cant stop hearing it. Then I see people’s reaction and I’m like no I love my friend I’d never hurt her pls don’t believe that voice I scream inside and I panic. Also keep in mind that my psychosis comes from using drugs in the past. I just wanted to know if anyone might relate Nd thank you for your opinions and @kindness that was pretty kind :laughing:
