I can totally understand how you are feeling. A few years back I struggled with the same kind of thoughts, I was so sick and tired of it but it passed. I still get my share of wierd thoughts, but they come and go. Your not crazy your brain is just stuck in this repetive thought pattern, a common ocd trait. Like I like to say its not me its my ocd. I hope you feel better.
Hey sotired!
I totally understand where you are coming from! Some days I look at people and I wonder what they think about and it makes me want to cry because I feel so insane! One thing that has really helped me a lot is something I learned on this website from The Panic Program. (I have to mention that it is a free 12 week program and teaches Cognitive Behavior Therapy - I mention that to everyone because CBT is an extremely effective way of learning to deal with this, if not beating it all together.) Anyway, I learned that when you're feeling like that, to remind yourself that it is just anxiety and that you are in control. I know that's really hard to think of when your mind is racing a million miles an hour. But, keep telling yourself over and over, this is just anxiety, I am not insane, I am strong, I can do this and I am in control. It helps me. Sometimes I forget this and find myself racing again. It takes practice and patience. I hope that helps!
Hang in there!

Thank you...I am trying to keep my mind busy...thinking about walking on the beach is great --But having these thoughts are draining and take so much out of you...you take care...
I know exactly how you feel. I don't know what to say because I am experiencing the same thing. It is horrible and it takes so much energy out of my body. I try to think about good thoughts like a walk on the beach. I hope you can find comfort in something.
How do you calm yourself when you have such terrible/blasphemous thoughts???? I don't even feel these thoughts or believe in them....am I going crazy??? Is it the medication? I feel like I am just popping pills to just get by....feeling really anxious...
