We have all had intrusive thoughts and irrational fears which is why we are here. So I thought it would be useful to write these down so we can start to conquer them a well as see who else has them.
I saw this done on an old NMP thread and it interesting to see how similar everyone's were.
My fears currently are:
That I might kill myself - now have a fear of cars, knives and bridges. This all stemed from a random thought I had whilst driving my car.
That I won't get better
That I will never be happy
That I will lose my job and therefore my house
That my boyfriend and family members will die
That I end up in a mental institution
My previous fears have been:
That I have cancer/brain tumour due to headaches/ many other illnesses.
That I am a lesbian
That my boyfriend (not current) might kill me
That I might accidentally kill someone and go to jail
I'm sure I have had many more and these thoughts har caused me much distress over the years. I am now battling this anxiety and all the problems it is causing me!
I hope you can share or even disuse with others your worries as it is nice to find people in similar situations.

I also have a fear of flying and open water.
