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.
@Daze what is “synthetic telepathy”?
Mine tend to be more fear-based. Yeah- what is synthetic telepathy?
Thank you @firemonkey.
