yeah i know were your coming from, and the, "wot if i go crazy and...." thing, i bet most of us have had that! i feel i'll just crack up an kill myself, like accidently, and a variety of thoughts along those lines - but this will never happen because of anxiety, remember that!

also, i am having irrational thoughts lately about the house burning down with my dog in it wen i'm out, i keep checking the cooker, hair straightners, iron an stuff an testing the smoke alarms - i hope its just a phase! fingers crossed! i cant cope with ocd aswell!

oh, an as for suggestions, well, i have none, somtimes you just have to beat your own head, like i sed to someone earlier, just cos you are thinking something, duz not mean it is true, thoughts are very powerful, an it is a skill to be able to replace the negative thoughts with more appropriate ones, it takes a lot of time and practice but is the only way to deal with shit such as this.
take care xx

i feel like that too i also worry about my meds and wot if i develope the bad oned. i feel anxious and my mind is racin. my meds calm me but dont stop the thoughts

along with anxiety comes worry,i have had all this for 30 years,kinda runs in the family.when you think of bad things happening,anxiety causes you to worry about things that most people dont.i still do it.and fears pop up making you feal phobic.all these symptoms go along together.what helped me most was a coping and behavioral class along with an antidepressant and a an antianxiety med.also i put my focus on helping others and not on me.i hope you can find a way that works for you.no one should have to feel that way.

Oh my goodness. I am so glad I joined this group. I have had those thoughts for years. It's not anything I repeat to anyone because I wouldn't want someone to think I was suicidal.

I have thoughts or taking a bottle of pills a lot...I have even had more absurd thoughts like slitting my wrists. Now these are not things I would ever act on but the thoughts go through my head and I shake them off.

Recognize that you are obsessing and that you are probably tired or trying to distract yourself from something else that is going on in your life.]
Reassure yourself with positive dialogue ex. that you are just overreacting and these thoughts are not realistic. Don't give them any value which gives them power.
Get focused on someone or something else. Call a friend and talk about their life. Just change your focus away from you. Play with the ids, volunteer, read positive books, etc.
Go to a place to find peace of mind through prayer, or meditation or relaxation exercise--Tense up a part of your body for a few seconds, then relax. Start from your head and work your way down or vis versa

i know it scares the crap out of me b/c i'm not like a person that would do it like i seriously would never but its one of those stupid thoughts that won't go away and i get nervous

oh yeah I have those thoughts and they really get to me sometimes because they seem to kind of shape shift, you know...? Like I get over one type of thought and another comes. I used to think.."what if I just plug in the hair dryer and throw it in the tub with me." yeah... I get the weird kill myself thoughts alot but I NEVER WOULD DO IT ! It's frustrating cause I don't want to die at all!
It's just anxiety looping around and around you really a cycle of frightening thoughts... We can beat it!
I've noticed it's worse around the time before and during my period.

Until I read this I never put much thoughts into "why" i thought these things. I do know I buried them and do not share them with anyone. I am really pleased to know there are others. I don't think in all my reading about anxiety or depression reading about irrational thoughts popping in. I just assumed it was just me. I am glad to know other peope are dealing with it and others are getting past them. Thanks everyone.

Be gentle with yourself. These type of thoughts are common with anxiety. You are in my prayers. I wish you only the BEST!
