Personally I have experienced the same, and it helped to know that it's a thought not an action. Same as thinking about a pink elephant. It's only a thought, just that. Realise: "it's not something I intend on doing." And to be aware of the fact "I don't want this thought" can prove to yourself that it's not something you like thinking about or want to do, because sometimes intrusive thoughts can seem to convince us that it's a value or intention you hold. "If I think it alot I must like it or want it" Not necessarily true, especially if you find yourself arguing with yourself about it then that really shows that your against it. Hope this helps, I went through psychosis and any thought worries me it will become real, plus if people can hear my thoughts I'm gonna be judged for thinking anything bad or violent. , so I get it. But you can get through it. Thinking of you :)
