How To Deal With Disturbing Thoughts?

Mental health

Over the past week I’ve been feeling really ill, this is due to the fact that I took a trip to my 1st Choice university in Glasgow. I recently got an unconditional offer and we were going for a anxiety meeting.

Since then I’ve felt bad stomach pains. On Tuesday I had a fleeting thought that it might be easier just to end it for myself.

Yesterday I broke, I went to my parents who decided that we should go to A&E. Whist the staff was amazing and understanding there was little they could do and we were sent home.

Today I’ve had more of these thoughts. I’m not making specific plans. However my brains seems to be analysing possible ways in which I could.

I can’t seem to shake these thoughts out of my head and I’m terrified.

We are just off the phone to NHS 24. I will have an emergency appointment with my GP tommorow.

Until then is there anyway to get rid of these thoughts I feel like I can’t be alone right now and am unable to concentrate.

Try to relax. Put on your favorite show that makes you laugh. Your not alone but. Trust me.

I'm sorry you're in such a dark place. I'm familiar with it. For me it would come in waves. I would feel fine and then suddenly I didn't. I found staying in the company of family and friends helped. Having conversation helped change the mood. I'm not fond of hugs but getting a hug would help. I would also lay down and do deep breathing exercises. I'm glad you're seeking help. You will get to a better place. Post anytime you need support or just company. There are many of us online.
