I still get intrusive thoughts in the form of negative memories from my past. But, I think because I’ve been handling myself better for the last 1 1/2 to 2 weeks, I think they don’t bother me as much.

I have mainly intrusive thoughts (or unwanted thoughts) since 2010/2011. It’s related to mental illness like OCD or ADHD but any condition can have them I think including schizophrenia. Mine are delusional or paranoid in nature. Certainly includes stuff that never happened in this life, but some of it might have happened but it’s hard to tell what is real and what is not real given I have problems remembering my past.
