Anxiety

[Sfqueen]

Hey guys I am new to this but I am really down. I been suffering from anxiety for about 2 years now and have obsessive thoughts and when I have obsessive thoughts makes me worst because I think how about if I act on these thoughts or go insane like other people. I don't know what to do. Please help

hello! your not going insane! we all go through it believe that! this site is so amazing and supportive. just try to argue with your thoughts. if they pop up distract yourself or talk yourself out of it. it easier said than done i go through it too. anxiety feeds off of negativity! breathing and writing help me! some. i wont lie. its still a struggle. i do cbt as well!

Thanks for your reply I am new to this but I hate it this because I keep asking myself why and if I am going to one day snap and do it it's so scary

you wont. do you go to therapy? or have anyone to talk to? or just write it all out and then erase it. that may sound silly as hell but it helps.
