One-word intrusive thoughts

...See more Hi! I'm wondering if someone has had a similar experience to me. I have this thought - it's just one word - that sometimes repeats over and over again in my head. At a certain point it got so frequent and loud that it was really distressing and I ended up in hospital. After changing some meds it got better but it's still around and flares up sometimes when my mental health in general is not doing great. No one has ever been able to tell me what exactly my experience would be classified as or if it's something they've heard other people say they have experienced. I suffer from anxiety, depression, and avoidant personality disorder, and have some obsessive-compulsive issues, so I don't have just one mental health issue that I could contribute it to. Anyways, has anyone experienced something like this? It'd be nice to know if there are other people out there or if it's just my own brand of mental health problems. Thanks for any responses!
