I’m sure most of us all received the survey maybe 6 months ago asking “Do you control your own thoughts?”
Obviously I chose “No” I do not control my own thoughts.
Since then the question has been on my mind. “Where do our thoughts actually come from?”
For instance, when we all of sudden get a great new idea from out of nowhere.
Another instance, when you have a conversation with yourself inside your head, who is the voice that answers your questions?

No one knows. This is called the “problem or consciousness”. We have no idea how meat can experience “qualia” or even what part of the brain does it.
Look into all the research and theories. I would recommend a youtube channel called “exurb1a”, a lot of his videos are very educational and also quite funny, they will send you down millions of rabbit holes and really show you how much we do not know about this world. I find it very useful for depression/anxiety sufferers as well as highly intelligent hungry minds.
