Strange perceptions, abnormal thinking patterns
Posted , 4 users are following.
I wanted to discuss a very specific symptom. I have seen it referenced elsewhere but I think it isn't very common but linked to panic and anxiety for me.
Along with my anxious state I suffer from recurrent thoughts yet it feels a little more or a little different from that. 5 weeks ago I was in an altogether worse place than I am now, really suffering from feelings of unreality. At that point my thoughts became very strange, now it is like the simple act of thinking and normal thoughts are registering as strange to my mind and as I explained to my mum it feels like a very tough symptom to conquor as it is ever present and all-pervasive. My mind has always been prone to PTSD states and rumination, and it feels like it simply cannot get over the strangeness. Has anyone else had experience with this?

Get a diagnosis friend! Don't freak! But sounds like duel personality disorder.

My GP is referring me to a psychologist he knows. It's not psychosis, schizophrenia or anything like that but I am wondering if it is anything at all as it was brought on specifically by this break down episode

Don’t believe everything your mind tells you.

I'd describe the thought patterns as warped. Like nothing I've ever thought before and my mind simply can't let it go because it's so left field. I have been practising ignoring, welcoming and letting them float. However they are very all consuming

I suffer terribly with anxiety. When I'm having a bad do with it I have awful negative thoughts. Is this normal with anxiety I'm not sure.

It's very normal to have negative thoughts with anxiety. I'd say it would be more abnormal to have anxiety without negative thoughts

Try meditation. Go on Utube and look up Rebekah Borucki and do her breathing. It will calm you.

Thanks Will. I never believed it wasn't anxiety but it can be very powerful and full on sometimes, hard to take. Yes, I listen to the guided meditatations for stress anxiety and there's a deep relaxation one also. I'm on citalopram 20mg at the moment. How about you?

Although I seem to remember you are on citalopram 30mg 😎 I think it has definitely helped across the board, but I guess I am being inpatient

Hey Al,
Thanks for the meditation info. I’m on 10mg and just finished 16 weeks and doing good. Some days in mid morning I get hyper but I know it’s from the stress here at work 😬😬. I’ll check the honest guys out later. Hope your day is good today.

Hey Will,
I use guided meditations cos I find them good to focus on. When I was ill a few years ago i got hyper at times too lol. Glad it's going well. I'm a lot better than I was but my mental obsessions are hard to deal with. I'm not sure of it's just an impression that won't leave but I am struggling with it. Hope your evenings good also.
