Members resonated deeply with the question about intrusive thoughts, with many sharing that they experience them daily and find them distressing or overwhelming. Several members described helpful coping strategies, including immersing themselves in hobbies or pets, working with therapists, using an alphabet word game at bedtime to quiet the mind, and even giving intrusive thoughts a name to gently dismiss them. A recurring theme was the comfort of not feeling alone, with many members finding relief in therapy, rest, and small mental tools that help them regain a sense of control.

Yes all the time. Especially bed. My therapist taught me a good game though. Start with a, think of all the words you can beginning with a. Then move onto b. Any thoughts that occur let them play out and have their time but then go straight back into the game. It works so well for me i barely get to a second or third letter

Yes. Sometimes I think it is either from over stimulation, or almost the opposite, boredom. I seem to need balance in everything, but that is not so easy to achieve.
Your brain needs rest, but also needs recreation. Try naps and learn to play ping pong.

I firmly believe that I was leaving with Blake Shelton (who is married) to go to his new mansion in Louisiana.
Larry told me he wasn't coming, but I packed to go anyway.
Not all delusions go on for days and are nearly as intense as this.
Note: I likeBlake Shelton.
I like his music and his wife!
