Yeah, it's pretty normal......for us BPs, anyway.

They're called "intrusive thoughts"---they pop into our heads completely without permission and can ruin what was a perfectly good day. The thing to remember is that intrusive thoughts are ONLY thoughts.....they are not actions, nor do we have to act on them. They are disturbing, yes, but the only power they have over us is the power we give them.

Of course, I've only been able to figure this out since I went on antipsychotics. LOL.
