I don't understand? :s

[Paniclissx]

Im laying here on my bed and I have really bad HA and I'm terrified of dying yet I'm getting intrusive suicidal thoughts? I know if it actually came down to it I would never be able to do it but why am I getting them in the 1st place? Is this part of anxiety? It's really scary, maybe I've just got too much time on my hands to think ? I just don't understand why I'm thinking of something that terrifies me!? Any comments or advice would be greatly appreciated xx

I'm guessing its to do with being in control hun, for me a major part of HA is not being in control of what happens to me. I'd definitely say your thoughts are linked and it would be a good idea perhaps to speak to someone professionally about it. Sometimes people can get these thoughts but obviously would never do it, but just knowing you have control over your fate in this way is in itself a help, rather than something else being in control of it..

Hope this makes sense! xx

This is defiantly just and OCD/health anxiety thought! It's just another one of those thoughts that come to cause us anxiety!! I have them all the time an they terrify me but u will never act on them because they both u so much!!

Take care
