I'm 21 and started having thoughts around six months ago. At first I found it easier to shrug the thoughts off and carry on. But as of late the thoughts have been much stronger and more pesistant. I googled obsessive thoughts and found it really comforting to not be the only person who had them. One question I did have is how people go to the doctor and tell them about the thoughts. They are completely sickening to me and I don't think I could bring myself to tell them to someone else; even my family that I have them. I've started recently to feel like a failure because I can't shift these thoughts and was going to call my GP and ask for help but didn't know what I could say....
ok the only reason i am posting beacuase i like to help, i am 31 and when i was 21 the thoughts started, had depression beacuase of it for 2 years, but then i got help, I STARTED WITH YOGA, YOGA IS GREAT FOR THE MIND, AND IT REDUCES ANXIETY, THEN I LEARNED TO MEDITATE TO QUITE THE MIND, BUT WHAT I RECOMMEND THE MOST IS EFT EMOTIONAL FREEDOM TECHNIQUE, EFT GOOGLE EFT, I GO TO A EFT COACH, BUT I ALSO USE YOUTUBE.COM JUST TYPE EFT FOR NEGATIVE THOUGHTS AND THE LADY WITH THE BLACK HAIR SHE IS REALLY GOOD, SO DO THIS VIDEO ABOUT SAY 4 TIMES IN A ROW, THEN GO ON WITH YOUR DAY, AND THE THOUGHTS MIGHT BE THERE BUT NOT THE NEGATIVE EMOTIONAL EFFECT OF THEM, SO IF THERE IS NO EFFECT ON THE NERVOUS SYSTEM THE THOUGHTS START TO LOSE POWER, AND ONCE THEY LOSE POWER THEY SLOWLY GO AWAY, BUT PLEASE TRY EFT AND YOGA, AND IF YOU CAN LEARN TO MEDITATE BETTER YET, LET ME KNOW HOW YOU DID, AND GOOD LUCK, I PROMISE THEY WILL GO AWAY.
