Obsessions

[jeannie]

Hi,
at the moment I'm just thinking all the time. I had three therapie sessions on Friday and they went really well, but they always send me into my obsessions. I'm trying to help myself and help my therapist understand me by writing poems. This morning I felt like this. Does anybody else feel like this when they have their compulsions and obsessions or am I alone?

Obsessions

What's taken over my mind?
What's taken over my body?
What's taken over my sanity?
Where have I gone?

Think, think, think,
just one more time.
Do, do, do,
just one more time.

It hurts me,
it attacks me,
it won't let me go.
Has a grip around my head,
which gets stronger and stronger,
whilst I get weaker and weaker.

Think, think, think,
just one more time.
Do, do, do,
just one more time.

Just one more time,
just check again.
just one time.
Then another and another and another.........

How can I switch my brain off?
How can I stop this torture?
Let me go.
Let me relax.
Show me a way.

This way and that way,
just one more time.
My head is going to explode.
It can't take any more,
but it just carries on.

Obsessions, compulsions,
the mind is going haywire.
I can't think properly,
can't act properly,
something else has taken over.

Hi Jeannie

That is a great poem and explains exactly how it is. I know how horrible it is those constant thoughts that seem to take over your mind and drag you down. You arent alone hon and we will help you as much as we can.

Love Sal xx


Dont mess up the best things in your life, just because at present you are unsure who you are.
