Terrible, Obsessive Thoughts!

   Hmmm ... Personally, as a child 6-9 years old / now I am 15 / I also had these obsessive thoughts and did some rituals. (I don't remember much) over time it disappeared, they didn't take me to a psychologist, etc. Well, you attach a lot of importance to these thoughts / leave them / accept that life is fragile. Death is everyday. I stand for 5 minutes and support my chin, it's hard haha ​​.. Well, I have a beard that did stupid things. As if not stepping on the carpet, she jumped over the threshold several times with such nasty games, because she thinks that her mother, the father of her relatives, will do something bad. At the moment I can not choose the right words, it is best to see a doctor. Look around. Look, it's stupid!

   These thoughts occur as a result of impaired metabolism in the brain. They are treated with drugs prescribed by a psychiatrist.

   Hi, I have the same problem as you. I am almost 36 and have struggled with this condition for most of my conscious life. From what I've read, I've talked to a psychiatrist, it's OCD. For me, these obsessive thoughts are combined with compulsive actions, I always check my body for lumps, bumps, etc. and God forbid, I feel something, such panic overwhelms me that it seems as if my consciousness is narrowing, and I can not to think of nothing else. She gets palpitations, cold sweat, abe .. beauty. Anyway, I have nothing to describe it, you obviously know. It interferes with life. You cannot experience joy, because some fear of a fatal disease for you or your loved ones poisons your days. This is combined with the guilt that when you think about it (and you can't stop) you will cause it. So, to give advice - with the proviso, that you need to consult a doctor, I'll tell you what helped me. But I'm not a doctor, so talk to one, and do nothing on your own initiative. However, a psychiatrist recommended Atarax to me. It is given with a prescription, not green, but still with a prescription. I can say that after 2 weeks of intake, things have improved significantly. He helped me. Thoughts come to you, but not such that you can't live normally, more like everyone else. You are afraid of something terrible, but you do not transfer any other person's pain on yourself. You understand that you are a separate person and you cannot get sick of everything you are afraid of. Even, sometimes you say to yourself - Well, what did the Lord say, and you really mean it. You do not fall into the terrible holes in which you are the protagonist of all the terrible scenarios with a fatal ending. Atarax helped me a lot, and I didn't even drink the full dose for anxiety. But I repeat - only after consulting a doctor. Good luck.

   Oh, I'm the same. It's not even just for diseases. I always think bad things and it's constant, I challenge my own destiny. You have time to work on it and think positively about things. Yes, it is difficult, but everything happens gradually. If you can't help yourself, see a psychologist. I know what's wrong with you, especially since you say you're not even 20. I'm not even 18 yet and I feel like life will end and I've seen everything from it. Just look ahead, don't think badly and don't challenge fate.

   and I'm like that .... I'm just trying not to film myself and not to think that. I know I personally can't help you. Tamman was fine and once we went for a walk in the car and my brother crashed in front of me and since then even more so even when I call my grandfather and he doesn't pick me up, for example, whatever thoughts go through my head ... I think you have to try to ignore all this yourself mm I don't know everything is in your head the more you think it the more you get in and it gets worse pros stop thinking and it's I know you tried but keep going and pros don't think it's all ONLY in your head

   Find a hobby! Play sports, have fun! Start working on something that is interesting to you, your own project is almost an art. Do not take antidepressants and no pills, just relax and tell yourself - This is life. I am the same. You just have to relax a little I think there is no point in telling you these things everyone knows them I just guess you about them! In short, relax and accept life as it is, find a solution to your problems and solve them one by one!

   Hello dear (probably a girl) I want to tell you that you do not need to worry because you are not the only one and it is not something scary! First I am 20 years old and I went through your condition and yes, it's hard, it's scary, but it passes ...! Just like you and I had similar obsessive thoughts until the symptoms started - I was constantly sick from morning to night, I stopped eating .. I started going to the doctors I thought I had colon cancer (research ... ) horror was! People who have not experienced it do not know how difficult it is! I went to a psychologist and he told me that I had an overdeveloped anxiety disorder! I decided to start drinking mint tea with honey (many people will find it funny) but the effect was amazing for me! 3-4 teas a day and while drinking them I thought only how it calms me down and I feel good! It's been 6 months since it all started and I still have such thoughts, but I ignore them! Try this method, you will not lose anything, it helped me! Good luck

   Abe, I think I'm like you, but at a lighter stage. It's really awful. It's not good to look at life only with pink glasses, but only with dark ones it's just awful. I don't think about such things all the time, but I allow them and they often cross my mind. I am especially afraid of my child. I enjoy life otherwise, but I'm afraid. Do other people allow such thoughts?

   I was exactly the same as you. Moreover, I know that people's intentions have the ability to influence the processes in the world. I had the same fears for myself and my loved ones and of course I was afraid that having these fears would actually cause the event and so on. Exactly the same story. The solution is called meditation. Every day or every other day for 20-30 minutes. You sit comfortably in a quiet place with your back straight (it does not have to be a yogic pose, you can be in a chair, but it is important that your back is straight and not relaxed on the backrest). You slow down your breathing, but increase the volume of air - you fill your lungs completely and exhale completely, but much more slowly than usual. You stand and watch. You watch and stand. You don't move. You become an observer. Different thoughts will go through your head - just watch them. You may feel uncomfortable in any part of the body and unless it is quite uncomfortable, you do not move. Meditation is a unique tool to clear one's subconscious. The identification with the ego (what you think you are, but you are not) diminishes or may even temporarily disappear (known as "ego death"). Meditation will give you a uniquely many perspectives on all situations in your life. It will give you space in the mind, it will give you an understanding of how the Consciousness and the World work. Of these things, mindfulness is the most important. This free space means that your Attention is free from identification with thought. The OCD process works like this - there is some fear. Due to hypersensitivity, the Ego begins to generate scenarios of how this fear may manifest. In general, many people have such thoughts. The problem comes when the Ego completely fills the Attention and begins a full identification with the obsessive thought. And these kinds of thoughts are good at this because they also generate strong emotion. Then we talk about unconscious behavior - a person automatically obeys the fear generated by automatic machine thoughts. If there is no identification with the thought, you can in your mind, through your own will, direct your Attention to something else. It is best if this is the present moment. Then we are already talking about conscious behavior - when through your own Will you change the behavior of your Attention. I wrote a lot and started to get into a bit more metaphysical topics ... In general, yes - meditation is an exceptional tool. You can start with meditations on youtube, for example, if you want some exercises before the meditation itself (which is not a bad idea). To explain and, that meditation is in no way tied to yoga and Buddhism alone. There is also meditation in Christianity. Besides, all the things a person does in the so-called 'flow' of psychology are also meditation - for example, a musician to improvise, or to stand in the garden and look at the sky and the flowers. Once the mind is clear of thoughts and one realizes that it is here and now - this is meditation.

   I feel like I'm reading my story ... I'm almost 20 and I feel like I've been living under constant stress since I started studying abroad. There is death, disease, failure, and mostly bad things in my head. I think you may be depressed. It helps me to be busy with something, if I can get tired, so that I don't have time to think about such things. Find an activity, hobby or sport and I guarantee you will feel better. Go out with people too.

   You're not the only one, that's for sure. It can be up to a person or a temporary mood. I can't say for sure. I can only tell you that it happens to me, probably to a lot of other people. We are mortal - this is normal. It is normal to get excited, to be happy, unhappy, in love, disappointed, etc. For me, these thoughts appear when I am alone / lonely. I noticed that after I started going out more often, things got better. Some things will happen and this is inevitable, but in the meantime there are so many other good things you can miss ... and this is life;)

   I know how silly it may sound, but try to meditate. You can start yoga at home, change your regime for the better. There are a lot of videos with subconscious messages that you can listen to when you relax, they worked for me and since then I don't pay such attention to the problems and I don't allow negative thoughts at all. The rest depends on your self-tuning! However, visit a specialist, if it is OCD, you should not allow it to deepen. And talk to friends, they always help and sometimes they are better than the best psychologist!

   From the author: Dear people, thank you very much for your comments and advice! It's as if I'm noticing an improvement these days, I don't think about it all the time, I even stay calm when these thoughts come to my mind. I try to do these exercises in which I consciously make them come to my mind and deal with them without fear. It turns out. I understand that it is completely pointless to worry about these things. In the end, what is written happens to a person ... I find a number of factors to be the cause of my condition and I will try to eliminate them. I will listen to your advice, but I still think that part of this anxiety will remain, because I feel it as part of my character and personality. I sincerely hope that everyone in my condition will recover. PS: I apologize for the mistakes in my post.
