Keep Thinking That I'm Sick Posted: 06-10-07 23:34pm
hey i am new here and i just want some
advice on a couple things that i feel is
seriously wrong with me and I want someone
to tell me what i might have.
basically my mental illness is this I get
thoughts in my head and watever i fear the
most starts to happen so for example if i
see on tv someone has schizophrenia and
they hear voices and start to think "what
if this starts to happen to me" and then
all of the sudden are start to over worry
and actually believe that i am feeling
these thoughts and as soon as i start to
tell my self that it is unreasonable it
starts to dissapear. but it seems to make
a cylce of itself as soon as i get over a
thought or worry i start to worry about
something else. I also beleive that i
register things differently in my mind
which causes me to have depression when my
life has almost no stress..its like i
cause all this stress upon myself but i
cant help it...i cause myself to worry and
believe in things that are unreasonable. I
hope this doesn't lead into insanity.
Sometimes it gets so bad, for example one
time I made myself believe that i couldnt
sleep anymore and i worried about it so
much that i literally had trouble sleeping
after it. its like my thoughts have the
power to change and convince my body, my
thought have control, and it depresses me
that my thoughts make decisions for how i
percieve the worl around me!!
thanks for your time and i am sooo
desperate for answers.

You just proved to yourself that the mind
is a powerful thing................yes
worrying about things excessively will
probably bring it on...............whether
for real or just in your
mind..............and if it's in the human
mind it is very "real" to
you................to turn it around why
not try thinking more positive
thoughts...................no one says you
have to watch the news or listen to
negative/depressing
people..............dismiss them
entirely................concentrate on up
lifting/positive things and turn the cycle
around
