No, it isn't just you. I have them a lot from time to time. Usually as part of an episode. If I'm depressed, mixed or manic, but not psychotic, they are very intrusive, but I find I can bear them mostly, even though they are emotionally draining.
The trouble comes when I feel compelled to act on them, change my route, cancel arrangements, treat someone with strong suspicion, etc. That is usually a clue for me that paranoia and psychosis are setting in.

I hope yours give you some space.
