Hi there, I too have suffered with intrusive thoughts started about a month ago... it's the worst. I have been given an anti anxiety, but they still happen all the time. I've been keeping busy and i know I would never act on them, but they are very unpleasant and give me so much anxiety.

Been about ¹ year for me when they first started I was in tears but now I except them not being real

Hello! I understand how you feel. What remedies have you tried for this? And I can give you other ways to help this.

Ty I tell my self it's not real and know I would never act on my thoughts

That's good, the brain is a very powerful tool. It can trick you into thinking something is real. You can tell your self "stop" out loud. Or write down your thoughts and try coping that way!

What do you do with the thoughts? I know they're not real, but they give me so much anxiety. Like why am I thinking this way?

This is my experience .When they first came I tried to search my soul all my past .Sorry to say it wasn't the best .From disfunction to deeper clamaty also I'm in recovery for alcoholism 25 years sober I even experienced The higher power being true that hurt me even more knowing God was real and still let me suffer with these thoughts I begged him or who ever this entity is I found that the fear of the thoughts kept the thoughts around inturn the anxiety stayed to so face the thoughts and with profanity I say get the bleeep out of here and focus on my next task to be of service to others .Same as AA now I feel if I help someone here it would help me with my thoughts
