Hey guys, I really need some help. I've been feeling like this since the end of april, I'm thinking of unusual thoughts lately and all of this is connected to my girlfriend. I love her to pieces, but since the end of april, I'm now confused of my feelings for her, but I don't want to lose her at all sad I've been crying a lot lately because of this feeling and I know that this is not my true self. I get hurt when she gets hurt, and we both are looking forward for a future with each other. I dont want this feeling to ruin everything because we've now been together for 11 months turning to 1 year sad I'm also having unusual thoughts such as I was sexually attracted to my family and I imagined stuff and right now I'm doing everything to stop the feeling. I don't know if I have schizoprenia or just normal anxiety, but I already want this to stop sad I don't wanna hurt my girlfriend and anyone else that's why I need help sad This really isn't me, I really was fine back then but everything changed one morning. Any advice?

And I also am dreaming of things that are unusual and weird. It may be sexual or something really unusual and I can't explain the feeling. Please help me 😞

Hi! Well done you for being so open and honest about what you are having to deal with. I can not imagine how you are feeling but my suggestion would be to go speak to your gp as they are the ones who know what treatment would be better for you to help you with your feelings and thoughts. I would also maybe look into some councilling rather than medication as talking therapy really does help. I'm sorry I don't have anything better to say but I really hope you start to feel yourself again soon! X

Hi I know anxiety can cause you to have strange thoughts I have had strange thoughts myself I think if you know that you don't want to think these things it's different to actually just thinking these things if you know what I mean ? I would go to the doctors and explain maybe then can arrange councilling or possibly medication. The only advice I really have is that the more you get annoyed about these thoughts and get annoyed about them the more you will think them. Sorry I can't offer much more advice but I don't think it means schizophrenia. Obviously I'm not a doctor tho but try not to worry. Hope you manage to get some help soon x

Thank you for the advice!! I do my best to not think of it but it still gets in my head. But I'll follow your advice and this time I wont let it barge into me 😊

Yeh I'm the same it's a vicious circle but I find the getting annoyed at myself makes things worse. Have you any other anxiety symptoms other than this ?

well sometimes i just feel like I already wanna die because Im already thinking too much, and I already tried to relax, meditate, and talk to myself and it sometimes works but it all gets back in my head after.

I think it would help if you'll just focus on the things that make you happy or the things that you love and that will distract you from what you're thinking? That's what i'm doing at the moment and it quite helps me

Hey Bee

Like someone la said it takes a lot of courage to be honest.

I doubt it's schizophrenia?? Are you heading voices and seeing things? You can always go to a psychiatrist or your GP and see what your options are. I suffered with anxiety for years in silence

There's help out there. Well done for opening up though that your first step. Your gf sounds like she loves you so I'm sure she'll stick by you.

Good luck and well done you can do this

I don't know that it's schizophrenia but out of control thoughts could be anxiety or maybe OCD. You'll want to talk it out with a therapist. They are much better at diagnosing this. Good luck.
