Ive suffered with them for years, they usually involve awful things happening to those close to me and I think are probably linked with my anxiety. Recently my anxiety has been at its lowest levels in ages and life is really good. Then all of a sudden and totally out of the blue this evening I get a really horrible image in my head. It's completley knocked me off kilter and now I can feel my panic levels rising.
It's stupid and ridiculous and I know they are not real and just my mind playing tricks on me. But they are so upsetting and once I get them I struggle to get them out of my head for ages. I feel like my stupid brain is broken, and can't let me feel calm for whatever reason.
Does anyone have any advice for dealing with this? Is there a way I can stop them.
