Hello,
I have Anxiety, panic attacks and complex PTSD stemming from childhood abuse. I’m trying to heal but I’m having some heightened anxiety at the moment, it was expected, but one thing that is really causing me distress is intrusive images.
It’s not thoughts as much as peoples faces, actors that I’ve seen in films or TV shows, recently and years ago! When one pops in to my head, It’s there all the time, constant and feels like it’s blocking my view. Pulling me in to my mind.
Is this an OCD symptom or am I finally just losing my mind. They’re not scary or disgusting images more just an image of a persons face. But they just won’t go and I feel like I am slipping down the psychotic route.
Is this something anyone has experienced before? Any tips on how to keep calm and carry on?
Thank you.
Hannah.
