Does any one else have intrusive thoughts? Is this part of the condition?
It’s made worse by poor sleep apparently.
Are you on an antipsychotic?
if you have paranoia, ocd etc then this can come.
I have intrusive thoughts. I feel like the government is putting them into my head.
Intrusive thoughts are the worst. But remember just because you think of something terrible doesn’t mean you’re a bad person!!
Honestly what I find is best is to work on the anxiety surrounding it. When I have an intrusive thought I normally take a deep breath count to 10 and remind myself “I am not my thoughts”
I hope you feel better!!
I didn’t even know what intrusive thoughts were until this year. You’re right about dealing with the anxiety surrounding them. It’s helped me, too!
I still deal with them daily. To overcome them I just don’t react with panic or annoyance, I think a soothing thought instead and talk to the thought calmly with a logical response until the intrusive thought goes away. I find they come a lot from anxiety. I’m working on my anxiety so I am hoping that will lessen their frequency.
Yes I am on anti psychotic and anti depressant medications. Intrusive thoughts is a new experience for me
Thank you very much
I get intrusive thoughts too which really upset me - they are mostly ones which aren’t mine but inserted into my head by the evil spirit living there called Alien. He suggests evil things which is not me. Occasionally I get ones of my own but it’s mostly the subtle memories of Alien’s thoughts
