I told that to my therapist once, and she said trauma doesn't have to be like TV TRAUMA - trauma is relative to the persons experience.

Now, my thoughts on your sudden invasive thoughts - yes, I would think of this as part of your illness (and pattern created during). I keep a journal - a graph of when I have my symptoms. I think you should keep track of this illness symptom. IE: 2/15/16 - fine, 2/16/16 - fine, 2/17/16 - fine, 2/18/16 - harming thoughts. etc. ( I have 13 symptoms I keep track of + some health issues, if I did my daily chores etc).

Share this info with your dr - like 7 times over the past month I experienced negative symptoms - have 6 really great days, and the rest were a cross between a struggle, and fine. I managed to get daily chores done over half the month....

This is an example of when my Dr would not raise my meds. Because part of our (well I don't want to say recovery) learning to manage an acceptable lifestyle with this illness is learning which symptoms we must over come by retraining our thinking and behavior.

Not saying this part to you, because you know this - but to anyone who reads this and doesn't know: No medication is designed to put ideas in our brain or take ideas out. We decide what we think. The medication is designed to lessen emotional reaction to a point where we can retrain our thinking to be within perimeters that allow us to function.

This is my opinion, I am not a Dr.

Sounds to me like your medication is working great. We want to feel human - not be zombies. I have my delusion medication is prescribed as - 2 am, 2 pm and 1 daily as a PRN (as needed) and when I have a 'too psychic' day, I take a prn and it helps.

I THINK IT IS GREAT THAT YOU HAD THIS COMMON THOUGHT - LOOKED AT IT, AND WENT - "WELL THAT'S NOT REALLY TRUE"
