Thought insertion
Does anybody else get this a lot. My brain is constantly firing gibberish or random words/phrases. It feels like I don’t produce them myself. That’s in my daily life too. It almost feels like I don’t have an original thought. “Haifhangishfhfofiwtardngusbamfh” “on the boardwalk” “kørestol” “go right go left” like there is another person inside my brain controlling it thinking all of these things? Medication hasn’t helped this, it’s reduced the voices, but not this.
What’s worse is sometimes I hear it audibly, like I have a narrator saying incoherent babble. For me it’s usually internal. Like I have headphones in my brain. It’s extremely distracting. I have a hard time focusing on the task at hand at work. Feels like I shouldn’t be working anymore tbh.
