Hi Hampton,

Been a while since you last posted, just wondering how your getting on?

Hi.. I had THE WORST intrusive thoughts 5 weeks ago. They were absolutely horrific and to the point I had to ask my partner to remove sharp things from the house as I was terrified I was going to hurt myself or her without wanting to! The constant anxiety was overwhelming and I felt like I was going crazy. What kind of person has such bad thoughts, I must be sick etc. It doesn’t help with how you’re feeling right now but they WILL GO! Mine have gone 100% within nearly 4 weeks of starting Sertraline and yours will too. Remember they’re just thoughts xx

I can’t say, but keep routine up. Cut compulsions, any checking, even talking about it and venting. You will get better.
