Scary thought after another

I just hate my mind, how i know something is false, irrational, wrong, unlikely to happen And to be convinced with no proof just assuming the worst case scenario

Some of my sudden scary thoughts are always based on other people’s fears, experiences, etc..

my thoughts are so irrational and scary, like action and horror movies’ irrational, which i know deep down isnt real but my brain just send these signals to panic and feels tense and uncomfortable over silly things like theyre due to the worst case

Cbt techniques are ok theyre working but theyre all just telling me mt thoughts are irrational and how to keep calm through them, which i know they are not real but my i feel like my brain still isnt convinced which is so weird to say and i feel crazy sometimes saying stuff like that but if it makes sense i feel i always need reassurance and like convincing because deep down im convinced but my body and mind isnt because if i was then i wouldnt worry alot right ?

Those scary, irrational thoughts are just a by-product of anxiety. Negative energy being released due to sensitisation of your nerves, caused by prolonged stress, a series of stressors or trauma. The fearful thoughts and feelings will keep coming while sensitisation lingers.

The following link provides a very good explanation of why you are thinking and feeling the way you do and how to overcome anxiety.

I credit Dr Claire Weekes as the person who helped me to recover by practising her teachings and learning to be comfortable about feeling very uncomfortable. Even though her books were published many years ago, she is still ahead of her time in knowing how to overcome anxiety.

I go through this too & it’s awful 💔

Hi, thank you for talking about this. I totally could relate. I get thoughts like that too. Everything seems like it can have some catastrophic outcome and often my mind forms very obscure details about it. Often keeps me from doing anything at all. It is nice to know I am not alone. But it also makes me sad you know how this feels too. Thanks for at least opening up. That has got to be a good step in the right direction, Man! Thanks for opening the door on this subject for me and for yourself. I wish you the best. Keep talking.

Those racing thoughts are a nightmare, I don’t have a solution but I do hope that the work you are doing helps.
