Hi Lou,

What you are going through is what is what I like to call, stinken thinking, and all that meanes is just that stiken thoughts, thats all, nothing eles. You have to try to put up a stop sign in your mind, when this happens, try to think of smothing eles to distract your mind, I know it is hard but you are in control of your thoughts no one else.
I hope this helps, and when you see programs like that on tv change the chanel.
Take care,
*D*

Hey Lou,

First of all you NOT evil, they are awful thoughts that is all!! And no I do not think a doctor would put you in a white coat. that was a joke. You have to try not to be so hard on yourself, Have you tried or looked into CBT therepy? It can be very helpful, it retains our brains not to do that stiken thinken. It also helps with panic attacks. See if there is ant therpist in you area that specializes in it, it could make a big difference.

Take care here is a big hug you need one today :bighug1:

hi luby
its just a part of anxiety - and the more you worry about it the more it will be there but you will not do anything about it - its like when anxious people think they are mad - they are actually the least likely to as they are worried about it - -
