WHAT is going on???
Hello,
Tomorrow will be my first time back for therapy. It's been about idk 6 months since I last saw my Psychiatrist. I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety she is not sure if there is something else with it. Anyways, I have thoughts that pop up randomly and they scare me. I have talked to her about it and she said they are not true. And she has helped me get through it (talking+meds) and eventually the scary/bad thoughts ends. I haven't been there for awhile... and this new scary thought feels like it's true about me. Even though in my heart I don't believe it is true. Like all the other bad thoughts that have happened before. I'm really scared my psychiatrist is going to say it is, idk what I'll do if it is. I'm really scared and nervous. And the scary thought just seems ten times worst cause of the anxiety of talking about it to the psychiatrist. Thoughts that come up by it are:
What if the meds don't work?- Does that mean the scary thought is true?...
What if I'm never myself again because of this?....
And there are soooo much more questions but I don't want to waist people time.
Is the bad thoughts 10 times worse cause I'm really scared (anxiety) it will happen to me?
Any other advice you can give to me please! Thank you.
I REALLY don't feel like myself at times cause these damn thoughts control everything 24/7.
I can't do anything I really enjoy in life. It's like my thoughts are trying to convince me that I have NEVER enjoyed the things I used to do for fun....
Idk what's wrong with me...

I think thats the way we all think!!!!! Thats the main problem haha. Don't you want to just smack yourself sometimes! Ha Ha. Change all your what if's to no big deals or i'll deal with that IF it will every happen.
Thank you I went to see my therapist yesterday. She told me what my problem was wasn't true! Thank God haha. But I KNOW what you mean with the what if questions... they are terrible and that's unfortunately the way I think.
I've had a relapse in anxiety after a few years of being anxiety free. This time I am totally obsessed with, what if I can't find a medication to work. What if I never get better! What if I never gte my life back! I can tell you that that is not true although i need to hear it for myself. My psychologist keeps telling me thats really just a form of catastrophic thinking which is so common in people with anxiety. Hang in there and try not to think of the what if's. I KNOW easier said than done!
Thanks so much, yeah deep down I know the thoughts are most likely not true about me, and I believe in 100% that my doctor will help me THANKS
I used to get "bad thoughts" too. While our minds may take us there out minds will also never let us act on it. I am not sure the kinds of bad thoughts you are having but your psychiatrist will be able to help you. You have to faith in your doctor, they know what they are doing. She has helped you once she will do it again!
