Hey folks, well I've noticed I'm up and down with my anxity and moods.. I'm fed up of constant negative thoughts and anxious thinkng. It's like my mind belives I'm dying or I'll etc. I've noticed my thoughts are so racey about negative things constantly. It's draining! I try to think positive but it don't last too long. When I'm busy and occupied I feel lots better, but soon as I stop my head over thinks and it's negative so it's causings the anixty. Looking on the net at cbt links it all makes sense that my own thoughts are fueling the constant anxity. The vicious cycle diagram explains it all. So in my head I know it's my ocd thoughts and anxity making me feel this way. Yet I still can't get my head around the fact I've had anxity and vertigo years but av not died and I have a pretty decent life style as i look after my self. I take mirtazapine and it's doing nothing other then helping me sleep and takes away morning anixty. waiting on cbt but learning most of the stuff my self on the cbt on the net. I've tried replacing my thoughts with good ones, pushing them.out, flicking elastic band, posituve reading, self talk and signing chirpy songs. But I'm still hounded by these awful things. Mainly these - I'm.dying no idea of what and that I'm going to pass out and dIe. Every thought is like elaborated and I genuinely believe I'm dying. My life's wasting away I have succsuccessful clothing line thsts taking off but instead of feeling happy about it I get scared and think I will fail because of my anxity. I just feel mentally drained from. constant head that races with so many negative fears and thoughts. I had cold last week I was in such a state thinkkng I'm dying. I just feel out of answers and fed up.

Wondering if any one has any ideas or experienced anything like me and is ok now.?

I do also feel I need to learn to let all thoughts in as they are all equal qnd that thoughts can't hurt me, but it's hard sometimess as my anxity sends me too anxouis to function :-/ today's amother rough day With ot it worst in a while. No idea why

Anyway Thanks all shez

    I have very similar. It just doesnt stop. Blah, blah bllah. All negative and scary thoughts. I know its all rubbish but it doesnt seem to make any difference. It has really started to undermine my confidence. I feel like I'm frozen. Dont know what to do. Feel like a failure even though my life is pretty good. It doesnt make sense. Tried lots of things but nothing works so far. I think meditation may work but takes a long time.

      Yes, drives me crazy. I feel worse when at home on my own so I try to keep busy and go out, but its so difficult and tiring. I have just started  CBT therapy so will post on here if I get any positive solutions from it. Feeling quite depressed about it all at the moment and feel like crying.

      Yeah I don't lkke being on my own I get all worked up and anxuius. Thinkng I will die etc. Strange haha. I have to keep my mind busy all the time but it gets tiring don't it. Body could run a mile but me heed can't even remember things this week. It sucks ha. I had cbt last year it was good. I'm waiting to go back now. They said I had anxity disorder and ocd intrusive thoughts and I'm scared of emotions of something. I was like ok great csn we fix this now then ha. My tutor often told me treat each thought equal. And thst they csnt hurt Us. She would sat say the brown table thought carries as much weight as I'm going to die. Now nornal calm shez usually gets this, but anxious shez goes up a height over the thought. There's a good few links on the net for cbt. I used the diagram to help me understand why my thoughts result in anxity etc and keep fueling it by reacting anxiously. I see the point and how it works but csnt seem to not react to my scary random thoughts thst am going to pass out and dIe from no idea what as anxity comes and goes ha. do u find somedays u can be strong as ignore or rid them and say oh ya being silly shez man don't be daft and get on with things? I get up and down with mjne. It's strange haha
