Those damn intrusive thoughts. I can't tell you how many things I've done and then been like "I'm so sorry. I don't know why I pushed you off of that. My brain just said I should and I didn't question it."
I've learned to say my intrusive thoughts out loud, that gives me a chance to hear them, out loud, and go, "WTF, that's crazy!" And I usually don't do the thing. Plus people often praise me for not doing the thing, which also reaffirms "good job, me, another disaster avoided thanks to my good will power!"
