“intrusive thoughts”? And is it a neurotic or a psychotic phenomenon?
Like when you get a random thought in your head that makes you very uncomfortable that doesn’t go away really. For me it sometimes is a little like paranoia like “I’m going to go psychotic and kill someone” but then I get my bearings and it passes
Its always the nicest of people that get intrusive thoughts Iol.
Sometimes I have thoughts in my head that don’t seem to be my own.
I lose the narrative in my head and it’s pretty similar to the voices but less disturbing
For me it’s like a sudden flash of either a horrible though(kick the dog, expose yourself, a terrible way for someone to die) or a brief image in my mind that triggers ruminations.
Zoloft helped to calm these down
I have delusional thoughts that won’t go away and my pdoc calls them ‘intrusive thoughts’, I think the term is used loosely for unwanted thoughts that one doesn’t have control over.
I think it can be either psychotic or neurotic. It happens in lots of psychiatric conditions.
I’ll get random intrusive thoughts from time to time but they haven’t become obsessive lately.
Mine tend to be more fear-based. Yeah- what is synthetic telepathy?
