Lately I have been having this fear that I will go to prison . My brain is digging up old stuff that I’ve done and saying I’ll go to prison for it . My brain tells me I’ll snap and kill someone and spend the rest of my life in prison 🙄 along time ago when I was 17 I had graduated high school and wanted to work but the job would not let me work without working papers . The working papers required signature from the school but I didn’t go there anymore so they would not sign it . I ended up forging the signature myself 😔 that was 3 years ago I completely forgot about it and now my brain is telling me that the cops will find out and I will go to jail .Has anyone had these kinds of thoughts ? I’m 4 months pregnant and I’m trying to keep my stress level low for my baby . These thoughts cause me so much anxiety 😔

This is very common I have these thoughts. You just have to accept what has been done is gone. I shouldnt give you reassurance but something like this would just probably get you a slap on the wrist if anything, please dont be hard on yourself When you find yourself ruminating just say stop and carry on what you are doing x

I know my brain is playing tricks on me I’ve been through this before . I have never even gotten a parking ticket before 🙄 but now every time I go out and see cops I get anxiety as if I killed somebody or something lol 😂
