I really suffering at the moment, my mind is just constantly full of rubbish and thought just pop in and out and intrusive ones stick around all day, now i started to develop irrational fears which i just cant dismiss i know there crazy but i cant seem to clear them from my mind, i keep worrying i have schizophrenia and my thoughts just seem to revolve around losing my mind and hearing voices and i have started to develop fears of hearing things or my mind being control when using a telephone or watching TV - its driving me mad i know its completely irrational and i had these thoughts before every now and again but just cant seem to be able to dismiss them and relax i really feel out of control

HI,

I know exactly how you feel and symapthize with you. You need to keep telling yourself you are NOT going mad. I have been having dreadful insomnia and that has made such thoughts more prevalent. Are you seeing a doctor or taking any medication? If not perhaps you should see someone.
