Compulsive thoughts anyone?

I sometimes have thoughts about screaming or hitting or even cursing at someone, sometimes I find myself about to say something off topic , usually a bad or sexual thing , I'm scared one day my demons will be stronger than I am and I'll ruin my relationships with people I know or even don't know.....anyone like me? Is this another charming bipolar trait?

Hitting, punching screaming...hurtful and unacceptable things...that I would not want to do...horrifying me.

Worse when exhausted, too busy to attend to myself or just plain old unstable.

Antipsychotics help with intrusive, unwanted thoughts like these.

yes this is very typical in bipolar and I am one of the worse people you may want to come in contact with because just yesterday i.... well im still in a mania side and i just screamed outloud for everyone to hear but it did not bother me because im so used to doing crazy things like that, that it doesnt affect me anymore, but my doctor thinks its not alright and i argue with him lol. i just be myself whenever im depressed or manic and i really am extremely manic, i have bipolar 1 and sometimes its the best feeling like right now im on top of the world and i know that i will crash hard but at the moment i dont care

Key (for me at least): thoughts are just thoughts. Actions are the most important. Also, I do not have to act on my thoughts.

But having constant intrusive thoughts is a special sort of agony.

Also...This is a good thing to discuss with your pdoc. He/she may have some insight and help for you.

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
