Whenever I have an intrusive thought, be it words or images, I panic and start to think that I've said it aloud or somehow let on what I've been thinking. Even if initially I put down the idea, knowing intellectually that I would know if I said anything vocally, the fact that I'm not sure plays havoc on my mind until I'm in a state of worry and outright panic. It's maddening. Does anybody else have this or a similar problem? Have you ever said a thought aloud without knowing it on some level?
Thanks in advance
