I dealt with the same a while back. All these thoughts are suggestions from the brain. My biggest thing is almost egging the thoughts on without seeking reassurance. You need to teach your brain that they no longer need to send these messages.

Thanks very much, I’ll think about that. Is there anything in particular you recommend me to do to help me do that?

@Jack I would try to do exposures online when I went through it. I would watch videos dealing with reality being a simulation.. stuff like that. While I would watch as anxious as I would be trying to figure out if reality was a simulation or not. I just didn’t answer the thought I just sat with the swirling thoughts and they soon went away.

Hello does anyone get such severe panic and anxiety that comes along with bad intrusive thoughts. Then the thoughts give you more panic because you feel you may act on them? Then I worry I’m going crazy, can anyone relate? Thank for reading

I have had the same false memory/instrusive image of me doing something horrible to someone when I was 12 and they were younger. It is a memory based on a real event. I truly don’t know if it’s real or not but obviously, the more I think about it the more I think it’s true. This has led my mind to become slightly paranoid. I worry that if this horrible image in my head is true then one day the person I might have hurt will come and k*ll me. I’m really scared I feel like I won’t feel better as long as this “memory” is in my head. Does anyone have advice?

I’m constantly thinking about what if I go crazy.No matter how good I’m feeling the thought always creeps back in same with what if no one is real.I used to get anxiety from it but I don’t really get it anymore as much which scares me.How long did this last for anyone who experienced this?I feel like it’s been going on for months and I’m scared it’ll never go away.
