Irrational thoughts?

Question

For the last several years, I have experienced what I can only desribe as experiencing irrational thoughts. I know that they are not true but yet I still perceive them as true to some extent apparently. They seem to change from time to time and vary greatly. Below is a list of irrational thoughts that I have experienced in the past and and up until now.

1. I can be sitting at a restaurant and wonder why people are eating.

2. I can't believe children can speak when they are young.

3. I don't think people have to remove solid waste from their body.

They are just random things that I fixate on for a period of time then I seem to find a new one to think about. I don't normally think about it if I am busy with working. I seem to think of the thoughts when I am alone and just sitting in my bedroom. I have suffered with severe depression and several anxiety issues for probably 15 years of my life. Could I have a form of schizophrenic disorder? Any thoughts?

Answer 1

The irritational thoughts you stated above seem like pretty safe thoughts to ponder or question. My mind wanders into odd thinking and it is mostly when I am alone and bored, so I don't think it means there is an underlying disorder. I would worry if they start to enter into paranoid types of thoughts, like the strangers in the restaurants are plotting to kill you.

Answer 2

odds are you do not, it just sounds like your focus shifts alot we all experience irrational thoughts, from time to time some act them out others divert their minds with other things like remembering a scene from a funny movie, or a joke that they've heard, or even getting a little creative daydreaming exercise going lying on a beach and staring out at the waves washing in. but if your very concerned see you family physician for further advice. it never hurts. good luck.
