> Anyone ever experience something called "thought insertions" ?
This has been one of my primary symptoms during my psychotic breaks. There was some confusion in the first doctors who examined me who thought my "mental conversations" were auditory hallucinations consistent with other schizophrenic psychotic breaks, but I was always very clear that it was not something I heard but something that felt like telepathy.
While it is happening it seems quite plausible and explains many things. Since the symptom is not outwardly visible several times I went for a few days before my behavior was affected. It is only later looking back that I can examine my memories to find the time of onset.
During my last psychotic break I was able to "contain" the distorted thoughts; I still had them but I merely treated them as a subject of observation and not action.
