Hey,

For as long as I can remember now I've had this even before my anxiety started I'd say in 2008. Anyway it's weird sometimes when i watch a film or something i enjoy and sometimes things I just don't think about They just get stuck in my mind and i can't kick them maybe lines from something someone said or a movie scene I just can't forget. They usually stick around for about a day or two then I don't really think of them much then or I don't ruminate on them.

It's just really weird and quite annoying at times. Any tips to stop them? I'm currently doing cbt for my ha and gad on my 3rd session things have slightly improved but I think sleep is playing a big part with my anxiety, I keep oversleeping and not getting up untill afternoon to 1ish :(.

Atm it's a horror movie I watched oh god why but yesterday and all day today I keep having that sequence playing in my head :( It just won't go no matter how hard I try to distract my self it's still there :(. it's making my ibs terrible my stomach is just turning as I keep getting scared by the image of it everytime it comes it makes me feel nauseous and sick.

Cheers, Jack

cbt should help nicely with "stuck thoughts". theres a book called Brain Lock (about ocd) which explains the loop your mind can get in and cbt is perfect for retraining your thoughts out of it.
