I don't feel right. My husband wants me to call my psychiatrist, but she doesn't work on Fridays anyway, and I see my therapist tomorrow morning besides.

I have this a lot too, more lately, and I’m really curious. How do you explain it to someone—is there a word for it? It’s not really a hallucination, but for me (if I’m understanding you and I are getting the same thing) they’re like internal monologues, but not mine. Previously I was told it’s “intrusive thoughts,” but those feel different—more like non-internal monologued thoughts (I guess that’s a way of explaining it) and images and less foreign. But those “inserted thoughts” are just random. Some times I believe I pick up on others thoughts or conversations out of physical hearing range. It’s weird.
