racing thoughts

[philmarcus]

ive been havin racing thoughts. and they been really bugging me.
i would have them then a couple times a day, and usually when i was not active . but they started
to get worse to the point i could not relax or enjoy doing the thing i usually enjoy doing it. and i would get depressed and i would loose touch of reality. and during the racing thoughts lots of pictures would pop in my head. and that really freaks me out.
ive been goin to therapy for about 2 weeks now, and i have not got any answers, all they told me is that i 'might " have anxiety disorder.
does anyone been goin through this ?? OR at least know wats going on with me?

What you're describing is a VERY common symptom of anxiety disorder. That you've been in therapy for two weeks and the best they can tell you is that you "might have" it leaves me wondering. It's pretty easy to diagnose. Have they suggested you see your doctor to rule out a medical reason for these symptoms? And once you get a clean bill of health, to request a prescription for a short term course of antianxiety meds. If you find relief from the meds, that would be an excellent indicator that anxiety is indeed what you're dealing with. The meds, SHORT TERM, combined with your therapy will help you immensely.
I would suggest asking them at your next session if they think this is a viable course of action..........as opposed to you continuing to suffer with these symptoms.
