I came here after watching the Intrusive Thoughts free webinar. IT's have been dogging me since I was a child. My IT's all seem to be about my health. I was terrified I had aids when it came it out and graduated to worrying I was going drop dead from a heart attack. That one started in my early twenties and lasted for decades. The latest one is losing my vision. The video was helpful but I wonder is there anyone out there with the same type of intrusive thoughts?
Peace to everyone.
Yes, many people here including me, have some level of health anxiety. You have come to the right place.
Yes I often struggle with thoughts from my inner critic (super ego) . Someone referred it to the "roommate in our heads". I am learning to resist it more. It gets so exhausting. I am learning to talk kinder to myself. How can we love others if we can't love ourselves? I used to think it was being selfish if I set boundaries and said "no" sometimes to others requests. I guess it stems from not having healthy respectful boundaries growing up. Reading The Boundaries book by Dr. Cloud has helped me.. I hope you find some relief from those thoughts. It is exhausting!
I have had intrusive thoughts since I was a child. Anti-depressants deal with it depending how high a dose I am taking. My thoughts involve me visualising myself doing a horrible, such as if my kid gave me a card they had made me I saw myself throwing it away (something I would never do, I love it when a child makes you something) Anyway then I feel like crying. I would never carry out what the image is suggesting but it makes me sad my brain can come up with it in the first place.
