Hi, Thanks for your post.

These thoughts certainly make life tricky. I think you have explained what happens for you really well.

Well done for recognising you need some professional advice👏

Intrusive thoughts can be a feature of 4 or 5 mental conditions 🤔.

If you have not got a formal mental health diagnosis yet, you could share your post with the doctor.

Knowing the doctor will ask what brings you in or how are you going, means that you could start with a statement like "I am bothered by intrusive thoughts."

Treatment would start with a therapist to learn management techniques.

Wishing you all the very best for the next steps in your mental health journey 💜

Hi James,I'm sorry to hear that your intrusive thoughts have returned.

I think you've described it brilliantly in this and your previous post, so I'd just take them along when you see your Dr.

Hope your appointment goes well
