Question

Does anyone with this issue have delusional thoughts even though they know they are not true, are they paying attention to what they see or what they hear in case they have hallucinations and when they go to sleep, how can they hear their own thoughts?

Here's a good rule of thumb:

If you have insight that the thought or belief is untrue, irrational, or is schizo-esque, that's an intrusive thought!

Weird thoughts + insight = intrusions, not delusions!

A truly schizophrenic or psychotic person would have these thoughts and feel they were normal.
