*sorry some of it dosnt make sense my phone was typing it all out properly hope you can all make sense of this when reading*Thankyou x
Its part of ptsd . you will have many different thoughts .I do the same thing but I learn not to listen to it as it is my anxiety .distraction is good
Anxiety can def cause intrusive thoughts. The type of intrusive thought depends on the person, for you it seems yours are the fear of making a mistake by being with your bf.
Have you tried seeing a therapist? I see one for my anxiety and it helps me a lot.
thankyou so much for replying to me , i do try and tell my self that it is my anxiety but i find it so hard because all the bad thoughts over power the good i am just generally scared for my relationship i honestly dont know what i would pysically do with out my partner
hi, i know i want to be with my boyfriend thats what makes me happy but my PTSD takes over my real feelings and all the bad attacks the good and it takes over... i havnt really spoke to anyone apart from my Dr and also my partner but i have started using tyis website and found reading over peoples problems and also the responses they have back have actually made me relise that im not going mad and it is part of my PTSD i am on medication but i may look into seeing a councilor
Ugh yes, I've found this forum is very helpful!! It really does make you realize you're not alone at all, even tho u probably feel alone. I highly recommend trying a therapist, specifically one who specializes in anxiety and PTSD would be best =)
I used the Psychology Today website to find one near me, made it really easy. You can search by insurance, location, specializations, etc. =)
it does iv only been using this since last night and already i feel better just to know i can talk to people who go through the exact same thing as me is so helpful . iv had a really good day and was really excited to see my partner when he got home from work i just need to put everything in my head to the back and let all the good feelings back in i will defiently look in to this thankyou so much for your replies and also your help x
