I have been for the past 4 years now been having obsessive thought patterns that come about when Im feeling depressed. At that time,I was on Zoloft for 2 months,and had a bad experience with that,so I never tried any other antidepressants again. Also when I keep allowing my mind to believe that these thoughts are true,I get anxiety,for that I take 10 deep breaths and coax myself out of it,or take an ativan or xanax when I have some,which help but only temporarily. These negative thoughts pop into my mind out of the blue,like homicidal and Im like WHAT! I dont want to do that,I love this person,I wonder what the hell is going on,pray to god to make it stop and to calm myself tell myself that I am a good,loving person and that those thoughts are not true. Im crying as I type this,this has been happening to me since I was 19,Im 23 now and these symptoms havent subsided, Sometimes I feel ashamed and extremely embarassed to tell even a doctor that I have these thoughts so randomly,for no reason at all,its as if my mind uses these thoughts to upset me,and torture me,myself. I dont hear voices,I dont have delusions or hallucinations,I am a young,strong,loving young woman who just needs some help here,what do I do?! : (
