arghhhhhhh

how do you stop intrusive thoughts !!!!! thinking all sorts😫😭😭😭😭😭😭

give me an example of your intrusive thoughts

You dont stop them trying to stop them only makes them worse.Allow them to float in and float out your not a bad person you are just giving too much meaning to what are normal intrusive thoughts.Everyone experiences them but people who are suffering with them give them too much importance.You are not your thoughts.

douts about the feelings towards my partner do i love him am i with him fr the right reasons i do love him so much , and okay this is going to sound weird because it is to me but i keep thinking im attracted to girls and its making me feel sick like thats not me i live my partner i want a child with him so why am i thinking this…

thankyou its just really hard to live a normal life at the mo

It’s the mind it plays tricks on you. It is all fear!.The fear you dont love your partner the fear your attracted to girls and the anxiety makes it all feel real but it’s not.As hard as it is you need to agree with the thoughts(even though they’re not true) when you get a thought about liking woman dont fight it just agree with it.All of it is just rubbish that has been twisted through the power of anxiety you know deep down the truth.You are not your thoughts they’re are just thoughts.

I totally understand I get ups and downs. Some days I have control of it other days it consumes me but I always bear in mind that all this is is a mind game. All these thoughts you are having are just complete nonsense it’s all fear.

i know exactly how you feel i was dealing with intrusive thoughts too they come and go just know its not you dont fight them just let them go and keep yourself busy , start a project or something that will keep ypur mind busy to not think like that . its all in the head . i rememeber i was scared or knifes i thought i was going to pick one up and stab soneone or my thoufhts keep saying kill my daughter . i was terrified but know it goes away with meds and time . you woll be ok . im here if you need to talk :wink:

i cant even drink and have fun becuase they start and then i cant cope anxiety and intrusive thoughts are very hard and scary and it can get very lonley at times because no body understands i hate to think that i have these feelings towards him because he is my absolute world and i love him to bits but asoon as it started im like well this must be so true if im thinking it then yes it is true and thankyou same to you :blush:

its just hard to believe that its not true and its the anxiety and your mind messing with you

What banan says is probably the closest to the truth Ive read on here …these feelings occur with most people but people who suffer anxiety put too much importance to them and I know this from my own experiences. ..I get so afraid to have negative thoughts in case it sparks a panic attack. .the reality is its not wrong to feel negative or fed up now and again ..

im trying to celebrate new years but i still have the thoughts i my head earlier it was telling me do i want to go in to the new year with him im saying these things out loud and its scary the word love sets me off and i dont know what todo just hope the new year is bigger better and positive

happy new years !
i know how you feel and they are just thoughts in your head that are not true . you know you love your husband so dint fight those negative thoughts just let them go . its hard but im praying my meds will fully help soon or else i might up my dose .
