Really strange intrusive thoughts am I the only one like this

Thanks are you fully better now ?,it's good to hear that these things will all eventually go

Thanks so much "anew day" for posting. I am going thru the same thing right now and your coments really helped.

Are you having strange thoughts ?

hi, yes, the transformation i had was really good.  i started on 50mg sertraline (after spending about 8 months on other meds such as escitalopram and mirtazapine, but not having much luck with those), and then after 3-4 weeks on 50mg of sertraline, i moved up to 100mg.  it took a while to work (a few months), but now my really bad negative intrusive thoughts, bad anixety and depression, and also feeling really suicidal, all of that has completely gone.  also, i'm glad to be interested in things again, as before, i lost all interest in everything, and in people, and in life itself.   now im feeling great and am interested in things and people, mixing, chatting and laughing again

in my opinion,  someone who is unwell with their mental health, but doesnt want to be unwell, and is seeking help and treatment,  can't lose if they keep going, because eventually you find something which works.  it doesnt matter if it doesnt completely solve your problem.  you just need to get to a point where you think "you know what, i'm actually feeling better".  then, you can go forward from there, and you do move forward, which is great

sometimes i do still have a little bit of anxiety and depression, but it's mild, and compared to how i was,  it now totally doesnt bother me, and i dont give it any thought, and it just passes all by itself fast

things are gonna be ace for you too once you get on the right meds.  so dont worry about timescales (for example, i was ill for almost a year.  but im not bitter or bothered about it and to feel really good again after feeling bad for so long, is just an amazing feeling and it feels so good  to have made it through, that dark forest, out the other side into the sunlight)

you will get there too, everybody can, you just have to keep going and dont stop.  there's lots of help and options available, so it's only a matter of time before you have that day where you wake up and think "you know what, im starting to feel better!"   it WILL come, so no matter what u go through to get there, try to remember that you will reach that goal (..and along the way, your anxiety and depression will try to tell you otherwise.. but you will have the last laugh.  because eventually it will be defeated, because it's not welcome in your life, and you are taking steps to get rid of it, so it's only a matter of time)

keep us posted on your progress ok  

Thankyou so much your comments have really helped I'm wondering if I should increase to 150mg I definitely don't feel as depressed but the anxiety is a problem which is causing the thoughts I have an appointment this morning so hopefully they will know what's best I just want this to stop now,I think I got myself down thinking the tablets ain't working but I'm not depressed like I was 3 weeks ago so they must be

I'm really uncomfortable to talk about it,it's a fear of making strange sounds

I woke up the other night frightened by a pair of shoes in my closet lol its not hard to talk about just know it really means nothing as far as I can tell!!!

I just feel embarrassed because it seems just so strange

Ha ha,that's what I feel like doing telling them to f*** off,I'm glad you feel better did you take medication to help ?

Sertraline 50mg and Beta blockers. They helped as well. I'm completely off both now and the NATS are almost completely gone. When they come back I tell them they are just NATS now F off! My issue was heat. I was terrified I'd faint.

So taking the Steraline will that help my Brain produce the stuff when I quit taking the pills!? Or will I drool into a suicidal horrible downward spiral which I can see happening

yes. That's the result of taking Sertraline. It produces seratonin.
