Anyone had this happen before? I'm also prone to a wild imagination and wonder if these sudden attacks are due to certain energies/spirits I can't see. Why else would these thoughts appear for no apparent reason? I've never been suicidal and don't have a history of anxiety (unless it was drug-induced from weed/psychedelics). Comments are appreciated.

Are you getting enough rest, sleep, and are you eating healthy? Your body has gone through extreme changes and your hormones may not have been balanced yet. That takes time. I had extreme anxiety and panic attacks 3 months after the birth of my first child. It got better after my son was 7 months old. It went away after the birth of my second child, almost 3 years later. For me, my improvement came after I got better sleep, rest, and foods. And when you can, sneak in some "me" time.
Also if you have thoughts that are not your own, you may be picking up spirits' thoughts and energies. What helped me was sending thoughts of well wishes, love, and prayers to them. A friend mentioned that at the time, my energy was like a beacon to the spirits. They were attracted to the "mother" energy. I'm not so sure about the being attracted to spirits part, but I figured sending out love and prayers won't hurt.
