i have had these symptoms for a while. Here is my story. 4 years ago I saw this tv show and then all the sudden I could not stop thimking about that tv show is was like the idea of it was stuck in my head. Then I was taking to my friend one day and she told me a story about somone having voices in thier head saying to kill people and then I would start having the thought of killing people or getting scared of doing it, then I would get paranoid and scared that my repetitive thoughts would come true. So, basically if I encountered a certain thing I would question if I would thing about it over and over again. I am always scared that something I do or face will get stuck in my head then I get all depressed and worry "am I going to keep thinking about it" or am I going to go crazy.
Please anyone just give me some feed back thank you

Stress.....
This a symptom of recurrences. This means that you are in need to de-stressing. Take time and read, or go out and do nothing but relax, this may help. Drink lots of herbal teas, and water. If this does not help, see a doctor you have something wrong with your nervous system. Oh, and remember to always pray!

Sounds like you're experiencing the classic "obsessive compulsive disorder", as they call it. Alot of people get caught up in thinking patterns like that (i know). I'm not a doctor, but I think it has something to do with feeling out of control in your life. My non-doctoral advice is:

1. Try to figure out what bigger issues are unhinging you.

2. Don't worry about it too much. They're just thoughts and they can't hurt you. You're not actually going to kill anyone, you're just going to keep freaking out *thinking* about it if you let yourself. It's the fear that's driving things. The more you feed it, the more you'll worry. Don't make too big a deal out of it.

3. Get support. It's good to unburden yourself, not just about the fact that you're having disturbing thoughts but about your life in general. Whatever larger things are stressing you. Get counseling if you feel you need it (and make sure you get a good shrink because some of them are for crap).

Hope that helps at all. Good luck in all matters.
