Johnnie I haven't wrote to you for while while seems your thoughts are linked you over thinking. Have you tried CBT as it worked well with me.

[Johnnie1234 in reply to Tony95]

whats cbt ?

[Tony95 in reply to Johnnie1234]

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. It helped with the use of meds.

[Johnnie1234 in reply to Tony95]

so go to therapy and take meds ? you taking meds ?

[Tony95 in reply to Johnnie1234]

Johnnie. Imipramine, sold under the brand name Tofranil among others, is a tricyclic antidepressant which is used mainly in the treatment of depression. It can also reduce symptoms of agitation and anxiety.

[Johnnie1234 in reply to Tony95]

so you was going though the same thingg as me ?

[Tony95 in reply to Johnnie1234]

Yes. But it took a lot of support from my doctors. Johnnie you need support all the time and close friend to speak with who can push you when you feel anxious. Shame but to far away to help.

[Johnnie1234 in reply to Tony95]

so what should i doo and how you feel now?

[Tony95 in reply to Johnnie1234]

Speak to your doctor about therapy sessions and meds. Start a diary of thoughts pior, during and after and what causes your thoughts to change.

Johnnie you keep asking the same questions over and over and getting the same answers. Is there a reason why you don't want to try therapy or medication. I think either one, or both would help you a lot. I can understand why you may not want medication, as many people don't, but talk therapy cannot hurt you and is worth giving a try. You say you live in New York. I have relatives in NY and I know that Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center offers extensive therapeutic help. Call them and give it a try.

yeah i just fight it everyday and act like nothing is wrong with me i feel like im going crazy i dont know why im not like this im good always before this.

Imipramine has helped me tremendously with controlling rapid and fearful thought patterns I struggle with. People who don't have our battles with panic and depression and PTSD etc etc. Don't understand the toll it takes being in a constant flight or fight frame of mind

[Johnnie1234]

thats what i have now and thats pills that you are taking aswell?

Hi Johnnie, I have you in my prayers. I think trying to ignore your symptoms in hopes that they will go away is not unusual. I agree that therapy would help you. You can get to the root of what is causing the thoughts. I read my Bible, the New Testament. It is soothing and helps to assist you in forming healthy thought patterns. There are churches with board certified therapist as well. You may want to take that route. I am praying for you, ignoring a problem does not resolve the problem. We need to take action. It is private and confidential. Only, You, the Lord God and the therapist know. Jesus cares and is there for you. Be well and God’s blessings.
