HI,
It sure is comforting to read this dialogue that you have going. I used to think that I was "crazy" for thinking that unwanted thoughts about hurting yourself or doing something "stupid". I have never hurt myself nor wanted to but sometimes my mind plays this ongoing "what if"game and I just can't seem to stop the thoughts. I had gotten so bad a few years ago that I couldn't even go near the top of the stairs in my home because I thought I might throw myself down them......I never did....but those darned thoughts.....ugh!!!!!!! Thanks you guys....reading your conversations helps! kathy
That's it exactly Trish!!!...
I wound up chickening out. I got myself too worked
up and now I'm worked up about being without my
partner tommorrow. I feel like I'm getting worse.
There's too much stress and not enough fun in my
life.
Thank you for sharing. I feel less alone.

Laura,
I have the same when riding, I dont drive do to panic, but if Im really in panic mode, I get the thoughts, oh know what if I get so bad, my gut reaction is to open the door to escape, and be thrown all over the highway. But I never touched the car door knob, it was my thoughts that I would completely lose it mentally and do it without the intention of it.
Well misery loves company:-) It's nice not to be
alone in all this. Sometimes I think I'm the only
person thinking these stupid things. But how to
stop? How to stop these foolish thoughts from
interfereing with my every day life?
I'm supposed to go see my Doctor soon. A 40
minute drive--and I'm already thinking about
cancelling because I'm too afraid to ride in the car.
I'm afraid I'll freak out and jump out while its still
moving. Or get trapped in a traffic jam and not be
able to cope with my fear.
I really wish they could do an adrenaline
transfer--skydivers and bungie jumpers can have
all of mine--I really wouldn't miss it.

also, when i am alone shopping or something i often fear i am goning to run up to a stranger and freak out screaming something crazy like 'they are after me!" or just go beserk and start kicking people. have i ever? no? will i ever? no. just stupid thoughts that most people get at random.
i feel like that a lot! i have ocd and those thoughts are common obsessions. i don't want to hurt myself either , or anyone else, but i get thoughts like 'why don't you just walk into traffc and end it" or i look at a building and think "what if i want to jump off it'. they are stupid obsessive thoughts which define ocd and they mean NOTHING. it is normal for people to have those thoughts...if they bother you continuously aND CAUSE YOU MUCH ANXIETY, then it is a disorder...
Lauralai,
Have you spoken to yur doctor about your feelings? If you look to the left of the screen under "TOOLS" you will find many supportive tests. These tests are not diagnostic tools and are not a replacement or substitute for a physician's advice. The purpose of these tests is to prepare you with information that you can present to your physician. When you're finished the test, you can either print your Final Report or email it directly to your doctor. This will better help you both assess the situation and perhaps sort out your feelings.
We also have developed a Panic Program. This program is 12-weeks and involves the tools mentioned above. Each session is based on the previous session, so we strongly advise that you work slowly through the program and not jump ahead.
These tools can be very helpful. Keep posting as our online support group is always of great assistance.
Hope this helps,
Josie
Hi,
Does anyone else get frightened of completely
losing it and hurting themselves? That's the
thought that goes through my head. I have no
desire to die, or be injured, or to hurt anyone else,
but when I'm faced with an anxiety producing
situation--like being alone--I'm terrified I might do
something awful. It's like I think the fear will feel so
bad I'll do anything to stop it.
How do I stop thinking this way? Intellectually I
know I have never done anything remotely violent
or foolish for that matter as the result of panic. But
still the thought comes, unbidden. It's like
standing on a balcony and looking down and
wondering, what if I just fell off?
My family laughs at me and says I have my own
personal gravity, as I feel convinced I will be
sucked off high buildings, bridges, and mall
railings. When I was still driving I used to try and
make a joke of it by yelling "we're all going to die!!"
as we drove over pathetically small bridges. Of
course we didn't. It's just these insane, annoying,
persistant thoughts.
Any idea on how to stop them?
