Negative thoughts

[Junny1]

Hi I don’t know if this the right place to post my problem but Maybe someone will understand. I’ve recently bin getting panic/anxiety attacks. Not bad ones and I think panic it’s the better word. I feel like if I hear or read too much about Very very sad things it keeps popping into my head and then I could have a panic attack later. I had one once and my family think it’s because of a certain thing I heard about. My post sounds so little compared to most problems here but anybody understand 🙈

Hi! This is a good place to post such a thing! I know I’ve seen others here post a book about intrusive thoughts. I can’t remember who posted that but hopefully they’ll see this and chime in!🤗🌿🌈

I do understand. I have to limit my exposure to the news, to my friends even, etc to sad things. When I am feeling better I can tolerate more. I hope you will be able to breathe through those thoughts.

Hi this is Shnookie. I totally understand what U R saying. ALSO your post doesn’t sound little. Your feelings R valid this is what U R going thru and to say the least it’s an uncomfortable 😣 thing to go thru.

I have been driving thru traffic and a negative thought has crossed my mind.

Obviously 🙄 I don’t want to get into an accident so I talk to myself until I can place the thought in a box.

Sending U hugs 🤗 S

Hi Saeeda, I totally understand this as I was tortured by catastrophic thoughts and they would feed the panic attacks. It’s so distressing!! I’m in the middle of changing medication but my gp put me on quitiapine which are for intrusive thoughts, I am no where near as bad as I was a few weeks ago. I try to read as much as possible even if I have to keep going over the same page. We are all here to support you, sending hugs 🤗

I’m the same way. I have to limit my time on social media and I limit my time watching or reading the news because it’s always something so depressing or tragic on there. Sends me into a panic almost instantly and makes me live in constant fear. That’s the only thing that’s been helping me a little lately. Take whatever time you need away from things to get mental peace! If I could stop using google so much I might be cured lol 😂
