Scary thoughts

Post Reply New Topic

They are just treating my symptoms as a result of my 5th nervous breakdown.
I have been on a few courses and they ply me with meds. Follow up care is via a referal from the GP so it is a slow process.
I'm definately not as bad as I was , there is light at the end of tunnel. ASD seemed to fit what has been going on so an assessment will either confirm that or rule it out and I can search elsewhere.

Thanks for all the comments. Do anyone know how exactly you get rid of these thoughts and feelings? What would a professional do? Talk therapy, meds, etc.?

A combined approach is often helpful. Prozac is effective for treating obsessive thoughts and there are therapy techniques such as exposure response therapy which is used for OCD.

This is the thing I worry about too. I have a lot of pet peeves in public; children under 5 too near me, people looking at me, cars pulling in or out somewhere where I'm walking, loud motorcycles or car engines, slow people, people in my way, me in people's way, the list goes on. I often find myself feeling angry inside, and I imagine myself yelling out as a defence, but I know that will be very unacceptable and I will end up regretting it for the rest of my life. When I do get a surge of anger, I do try to think of the consequences before I do anything. But I'm still scared that one day I might suddenly not care and just shout out my frustration and draw everybody's attention.

I know how you feel because i have had scary thoughts too like hurting myself or even thoughts of me hurting others and that only happens once when i was really angry but i worry about losing control and i fear telling others because they will think i am crazy.

I've experienced a lot of scary thoughts over the past many years. The scary thoughts that I've recently experienced were

1. That woman who scammed the $280 out of me over a long weekend in August will go after me again. I'd better wear disguises so she can't pick me out of the crowd.

2. Now that I've decided to use a picture of myself for my Facebook profile, some old man on the site is going to try to
flatter me. It's a dangerous world, baby! You can't trust no one. It did happen last night. I told the old creep that I'm transgender and changed my pick to something that's more CockneyRebel friendly.

I worry about:

Car accidents
Being alone in my old age
