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?

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.

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
