I have been dealing with some anxiety lately and intrusive thoughts. I'm just wondering if thinking hurtful and mean thoughts is a part of anxiety and intrusive thoughts. I'm just minding my own business when suddenly i think of something messed up and mean about a loved one or friends?

    It's completely normal, because everyone deals with intrusive thoughts. As long as you don't act on it, you're fine. Find something to distract your mind when it wanders like that.

    Two words: Ironic Processing.

    Give freedom to your intrusive thoughts and let them come. Don't try to stifle or label them as "taboo." You'll notice in due time those thoughts will stop coming altogether. At least that's what worked for me

    Intrusive thoughts are perfectly normal, don't be ashamed of it as long as you don't treat people bad.
