I struggle with what seems to be two kinds of intrusive thoughts. The one I have had all my life is my OCD of germs so that's not too destressing since I always have germ x with me, but the other kind came from my first psychotic break. The intrusive thoughts are very bad and they scare me since I feel like I might act on them like saying things I don't mean. I also have a few delusions I can't help believing and the intrusive thoughts conflict with them which give me anxiety. They differ from the voices because they are in my voice in my head and I feel like someone implanted these thoughts in my head. I usually do my best to calm my mind and think of other things to get rid of them.
Intrusive thoughts are strange, well, at least mine are.
