Is this even still anxiety

Hi guys , I would appreciate any insight from experiences here ! Just to let you all   Know this may be a ⚠️ trigger warning ! If you are sensitive to symptoms or s**t getting into your head please do not read on! 

I went through another episode of anxiety ! Through a lot of self help the pass three weeks I have managed to gain control which I have never been able to do before , this includes the physical symptoms ! Although I still have the Globus sensation like something is stuck in my throat , is it normal to still have symptoms even after you no longer feel anxious ?? 

Secondly , intrusive thoughts. I don’t k ow if I’m still having them or if I’m conciously stuck on remembering  them sad  , from the moment I wake up the first thing I do is check my symptoms (it’s a habit I just can’t break and it’s ruining me ) And one of the first things i think is “intrusive thoughts” and then remember all the ones I’ve had sad it’s destroying me sad one example of these thoughts is and please don’t read on if you are sensitive , but I can’t look at sharp objects without thinking “imagine u stab yourself” or something scary and I think about it all day which makes it hard to conciously freely continue doing things sad

Even tho I don’t feel anxious could this still be a symptom of the anxiety disorder ? 

Does anyone have experience with these?

Do they go away sad will I forever be concious of these intrusive thoughts sad  does anyone have experience getting back on medication does it suppress these thoughts so u aren’t looking for them ? I don’t even know if that makes sense 

It’s just really hard because right now I don’t feel anxious I feel like I should be happy but my mind is a peice of S**t and constantly thinking of this crap 

Any help or advice or experience from anyone would be hugely appreciated ❤️❤️

Unfortunately Riri , I struggle with them to . I’ve had GAD/panic disorder since 2015 , and been on citalopram since , intrusive thoughts are just like any other symptoms of anxiety . One day there’s a lot of them , sometimes it takes a few weeks off , certain instances remind me of my intrusive thoughts for my case . It’s scary , but how I cope is remind myself that I am in control and those thoughts do not define me , and of course all glory to god .

Sorry you feel this way but thoughts of self harm need to be addressed immediately. In my opinion you may have anxiety but possibly a secondary disorder. I would seek help ASAP before you act on your thought and harm yourself. I have had anxiety abd depression for 25 years and only thought of harming myself when I had post partum depression after the birth of my daughter and then it was not my anxiety or depression but a hormone imbalance after giving birth. Please talk with someone soon about your self- harm thoughts.
