Yes. It is very common for beepers to get these abnormal intrusive thoughts. Do you have a pdoc? Are you on meds? You should tell your pdoc. I am on anti-psychotics for my intrusive thoughts. There is help out there. If you get to where you think you are going to give in to these thoughts, please take yourself to the ER or call a hotline. Hugs.

meds are definitely the way to go albeit they suck, they will however grant you reprieve somewhat from that which ails you. Hope you get sorted soon. Cheers and all that rot.

Yea. Meds do suck, but for me, they are def better than the alternative. That is something that will have to be worked out between you and your pdoc.

Seeing your doctor to help you get onto the med (s) that work for you will probably take some time and often some changes. They will control these thoughts once on the right 'cocktail' if it takes more than one.
Therapy often helps a great deal as well.
Educating yourself can help to understand and accept the disorder. I found acceptance was for me the first huge step towards healing or control. There is much info on the net to be had as well as great books and many self help groups
Great big hug and a Blessing for you
