Saying things you don't mean in head?

[Guest Kieran123]

Does anyone else have this problem?.. Sometimes I'll say things in my head like intrusive thoughts which I don't mean, it's as though I'm overthinking every bad situation and I say a phrase I don't mean?

Yeh i get you. i sometimes think to myself 'do i really mean what i think' happens all the time and i end up in an argument with myself.... the difficulty is knowing what you do or do not mean. i think its better to go on emotion and feelings rather than thought, as our thoughts can be intrusive and unwanted. its difficult because CBT tells us that our emotions and behaviours are influenced by our thoughts.....
