Yes, they are intrusive. I don't feel an impulse to act, really. I will tell pdoc and therapist. Never my child. Nor my husband. It's too alarming and prone to misinterpretation.
They wear me down, the thoughts, not to mention frighten me. I don't vocalize them.
One of my top challenges seems to be able to withdraw emotional energy from thought. Maybe it's my brain. I have always admired my more poised, considered friends. I imagine their thoughts can bother them just as much, though.
Your rephrasing is helpful to me. I have overcome certain thoughts and reactions to them before, but this seems just scary and very unwelcome. Yes, secrets and fighting makes it worse. I agree now that you mention it.
