Thoughts

[okami1995]

Just recently, my anxiety has returned a little due to recent events. It's nothing severe or anything, but it isn't exactly pleasant either. Mostly I've just had a lot of thoughts, about things that I don't want to do, nor would ever consider doing, but my brain seems to have decided that these are actually true. When they come into my head, I just say "no", to myself, hoping they go away, but I know this isn't really a healthy way of dealing with it. Is it better to just let them run through my head, will that help to slowly clear them away.

Hi. Thoughts seem to affect me pretty badly at times. They are usually about me being some kind of bad person or doing stupid things. Before I came to this forum I argued with them a lot and always tried to find reasons against them being true. As I learn more about this condition, I've discovered its best to just ignore them. Recently I have read some posts from the forum members here and I have had many sessions with a therapist, and actually by taking on the advice of everyone and by leaving my mind open, I have started to feel a bit more peaceful.

I also take a low dose of SSRI to help ease them. I am feeling much better that before by doing it. Hopeyou feel better soon.

Each person has their own ways of dealing and making it work for theirselves. A lot of good advice here on the forums. More than you would get from anyone else as the people here all understand what we are going through. I personally have benefited from the forum and the people. I was having a really rough time a few months ago and after talking to people on here I am doing a lot better. Find your own way, not sure there is a wrong way.

Might help sure. It's just a way or stopping yourself, and saying "No need to worry more, it's just a bit of anxiety and I know I'll feel abit from time to time and it nothing more than that". Alankay
