Hi. For the last few days I have been feeling really worried and having these bad thought coming into my head. When I researched them it seems like they are called intrusive thoughts, so unwanted thoughts that I can’t help thinking about. Like for example I will get a thought that the world will end soon or something like that which I can’t help and don’t want to actually think about. But then I will really worry and these thoughts bother me and make them feel like they are real. Does anyone else experience these horrible thoughts about various things that they cant help and seem to come from nowhere..? Thanks.
hey Harry,
I can only tell you that I experience the same thing after have gone through a massive anxiety that turned into a depression. The root cause somehow turns so much attention inward ... that were looking for on protection, safety, happiness etc.
I presume you’re not on any medication, but meds like benzodiazepines such a Xanax when used on and off does cause such things and a ton more. I presume you’re not on any medication, but meds like benzodiazepines such Xanax when used on and off does cause such things and a ton more
Believe it comes with OCD responsibility. It’s a type of obsessive thinking. It’s still linked with personal safety and well-being. However, the only way to address this is trying to get out of our own minds, and allowing the truth of control to be realized. We do not control the cosmos, the universe... and that’s ok... it’s lasted this long.
Biblically speaking - if that’s your thing ... Armageddon is a great thing! Daniel 2:44 and Revelation 21:3, 4 is the end result...
The only thing I can try to do for myself is not just simply distract myself, because I know what I’m trying to do sometimes I catch myself. But to live, and be part of a community of people. I find when I pull away from society, friends or family is when I get those intrusive thoughts.
If some one said stop thinking about giraffes. Your mind would not stop thinking about girrafes. infact, you would be thinking about them more. So when you get a thought let it come into your head and know it is just that a thought. A thought is not real. A thought is not you. A thought does not make you good. A thought does not make you bad. It is simply just a thought. For instance if you put a thought in your dead like I am going to burp. Just because you had the thought does not mean you will burp. Thoughts can not hurt you or anyone. It will only happen if you put it into action by drinking a lot of soda or forcing a burp.
Yes this has been me for a couple of months now. I have such horrible thoughts all the time, everyday. This can stem from bad anxiety or OCD. I’m trying to find something to help this go away but i haven’t gotten there just yet. If you ever want to talk just message me because i need someone to relate to too.
