I've asked about this on here before and I did receive some good answers, but I thought I'd pose it again in hope that someone might be able to relate to this and possibly give me some insight into what this might be. Would appreciate any answers.

Basically, I get these occasional times where my thoughts become really loud and I sort of lose control of them. They say the most random things, too. When they start they usually last for hours or sometimes days, in which case they'll likely keep me up all night. They sometimes say stuff that makes sense but most of the time they say the most random things that make absolutely no sense at all. On the rare occasion they'll say something like 'you're a cheeky b*stard', but not often. Most of the time it's just random babble, but there's nothing I can do to stop it and it's really loud inside my head.

Also, I want to emphasize that I'm not actually 'hearing' these loud thoughts, but they are loud in the sense that they overpower my own thoughts and block them out. They're basically too loud for my head. I don't know if that makes any sense.

I've been on antipsychotics for about 4 months and before I was on them I used to get loud thoughts rather regularly, maybe once a week, but since I've been taking antipsychotics I must have only had them two or three times.

Is this psychosis? OCD? Anxiety? Bipolar? I'm going to ask my psychiatrist when I next see her but my appointment with her is a while away and I wanted to see what the people here thought about it. I appreciate any answers. Thanks

I have no idea what it is. Similar things happen to me. My thoughts are always angry and violent or completely hopeless.
Keep us updated, I'm sure there's lots of ppl here with similar happenings.
Thanks for this!

I "kinda-sorta" get that too. I don't know if this is the same thing, but I will get something stuck in my head and it's like a like a record that gets stuck on the same spot. Or I just cannot seem to get a phrase I heard on TV out of my head. For me, I think it's anxiety. During the day, if I'm home alone, I turn the tv on or have something going to listen to. At night, I have started bringing my iPhone to bed and listen to a good sleep meditation video I found. It's just a short 10 minute one but it helps me shut my brain off and to fall asleep.

I have similar symptoms to this, no actual diagnosis but told bipolar spectrum but these are psychosis symptoms and can be treated.
Thanks for this!

It does kinda make sense, I get these intrusive silly random thoughts sometimes. This one time I had the silliest song lyrics stuck in my head for two weeks! They were about the color azure. Silly. They got so loud, as if someone had turned the volume on the radio way up and would totally interfere with my thoughts. Ugh. I was suffering from severe anxiety at the time, don't know if that's related.
Then last night I noticed I sometimes mentally repeat random words like a broken record. the last thing I thought before falling asleep was about how encouraging it is that many people do better with treatment and the last few words were "from hell to well". They're positive so I don't mind but am wondering whether that's a symptom of some disorder. I do think mental repetition is more of a subconscious attempt at pacifying oneself. The intrusive loud thoughts are more annoying to me but as long as they're not very negative ones I can live with occasional bursts of silent gibberish. Really wonder what it is though..
