Intrusive thoughts

Does anyone suffer from these? They are really absurd

Hi Vee. Yes I suffer from one continuous constant thought/ word. It use to cause alot of anxiety and scared me so much. Its stuck actually. It doesnt cause me as much anxiety anymore, just more of an annoyance now!!

Hi. Thanks for reply. Yes, it’s very annoying. I can allow them to flutter by, but at times it’s hectic. Ugly thoughts?

Yes!! I have learned to accept it for the most part, I've learned that it's just a thought and anxiety is causing it! Sometimes I wonder is this really anxiety!!!? It's really scary:/ Im sorry you are going through this too. But some days its just really bad. Have you read any self help books? Are you taking any anti anxiety medication?

I’m on Zoloft and a calming pill.

I apologize, just read your previous post. I dont take any medication. So my input there isn't very helpful sorry. But I took xanax years ago and it helped alot. I'm actually working with my Dr. And may start an SSRI soon. Hopefully someone in this great community can give you some more insight about medication. How long have you been taking medication? I hear that it takes sometime to work and get into your system?
