Physical tenseness a trigger of 'pure o' intrusive thoughts?
Hello,
I am currently experiencing more intrusive thoughts related to harming myself or others. I've been on both fluoxetine and citalopram which were good at improving my mood and stopping me worrying about stupid things, but which didn't do much for the pure 'O' - in fact the citalopram magnified the feelings somewhat.
It seems to be that whenever I feel physically tense or restless, I'm more likely to dwell on the thoughts rather than just pass them over. I had a cup of coffee a while back which made the thoughts really bad as I was so stimulated.
Does anyone else have any kind of similar symptoms? I'm getting CBT but if I feel tense/agitated I can't really accept the thoughts and let them pass through my mind. It always happens at the worst time as well - for instance when I'm trying to do my studies
Cheers everyone
