Meds

This ^^

@Lara2404 Thank you, but if the medication influence the way I react doesn’t it mean that the thoughts will be less stuck? Like the thought won’t be all the time

@OrMsB Yes, but that is your achievement and not that of the medication. Medications also help with exposure, so that people feel more emotionally stable. The result of stability is that YOU react differently to thoughts. They provide support (at least they are supposed to), but they are not a cure that stops the thoughts from coming because of them.

@Lara2404 Ok , thank you

@OrMsB Ideally if the meds are working, they don’t get rid of the thoughts literally, they make it where the thoughts don’t bother u so much or “get stuck”. The whole reason we have these intrusive thoughts, regardless of their content, is because they are something that bother or scare us. The meds can help where u no longer care so much if u have a certain thought, and once you’re not worried about having the thought so much, it kinda just goes away or at least is greatly reduced

@Viny Thank you

@emmahitam I'm sorry it happened to you. Indeed antidepressants react differently with people. I had this type of reaction with sertraline that's why I switched

@emmahitam I think but a therapist might

@emmahitam Then....I'm sorry but I'm afraid I don't really know how to help and I don't think sleeping pills are the way to go. But god bless you in your journey
