    yes Random mind pops are common with anxiety. That’s because with anxiety, the brain is sort of overcharged and we get those random words or thoughts. I have had that happen many times and my MRI was perfectly normal.

    when you reduce the anxiety they should slow down or stop.

    The fact that you had a relapse of a Gad is most likely the reason you’re getting the mind pops. I’ve even had past memories popped into my head out of nowhere for no reason. Just try to reduce your level of anxiety and you should feel better. But don’t get stressed out about it because then they will continue. Take care

    I have random words / thoughts in my head most days especially at night I'm unable to get to sleep most nights I also have GAD it's part of the condition I guess and shouldn't try to worry about it

    Hello there, i think its normal for us people who are suffering with anxiety to have these type of like constant thinking in a back and forth kind of manner since our brain is hyperactive but not really in a good way since it could also cause some intrusive thoughts. i suggest on just not hyper-focusing about those thoughts and instead, try to do things that could distract you from it keep yourself entertained as much as you can. 😃 just relax as well
