intrusive thoughts

[bimmadude101]

Hi everyone,

I am a 19 year old male who has now been suffering from intrusive thoughts ocd for close to a year. I approached my gp to referred me to a psychologist who i told about my intrusive thoughts but struggled to open up to about my harm thoughts.

Recently have been seeing this girl who i seem to get regular harm thoughts towards and sometimes self talk in the back of my head saying things like i will kill ect, that freaks me out very much so. Its hard to convince myself that im a good person when im experiencing such terrible thoughts. Does anyone else experience this sort of self talk that randomly occurs? is this just a part of intrusive thoughts?

I have learn't to handle my intrusive thoughts better then what i previously have but i dream of the day they just go away. I have been doing meditation, exercising every day and trying my best to eat healthy... this has significantly improved my anxiety but has has no effect on my intrusive thoughts. which brings me to my next question.

The anxiety has almost nearly disappeared but i still have a frequent amount of intrusive thoughts which is scary becomes it seems as though these thoughts have become normal and not an intrusion anymore. I also have seemed to have developed depression being less motivated and tired from over sleeping.

I have a appointment coming up soon with the physiologist who im thinking about trying to open up with about these harm thoughts ect.

Any advise appreciated.

Hi Bimmadude, I'm so pleased you have spoken to your mum, perhaps get a diary or a folder and write down how you are going each day so she can have a look at it.

Please remember it's just as important to include the times when you are happy, so write them down too. Geoff.
