Help with intrusive thoughts

I’m really struggling at the moment with intrusive thoughts and general low mood. I keep feeling that something evil is following me and wants to hurt me and my family. I can sense it’s presence and feel it touch me. Part of me knows this is irrational but it is hard particularly at night to hold on to that and I just want to get my family and run. Looking for advice on things I can do to ground myself in reality when the delusions are strong. I have input from MH team and am safe just looking for advice

Intrusive thoughts are well the shits! I have been and every so often go through a 'new bout' of them. Look online for things on pure o. Pure o is the top of intrusive thoughts.
I understand you, never getting a break I know but the only way out is to accept the thoughts no matter his scary. Say you will entertain them but later, then keep doing it. Let the thoughts come, don't fight them. The fear will go down. Its not instant but it works. Here if you need me x

This is brilliant at explaining what intrusive thoughts are and how to deal with them.
