When you are suffering from general anxiety, is this normal?!
Question: If you happen to have several anxiety disorders, is it normal to be having random dark thoughts pop into your head, and for you to be controlled by impulses?
By impulses I mean like reading the same thing over and over, and rererechecking the garage door.

The random dark thoughts are a common sign of anxiety and depression. I think the impulses are a completely different disorder. I think it's called obsessive compulsive disorder...have you ever seen "As Good As It Gets" with Jack Nicholson?
The impulses would be OCD, the dark thoughts are a sign of depression.
No it is not normal and you should see a doctor to get some meds to helps control it before it takes over your life.
I have OCD and it can interfere with your life...you have to fight the thoughts and don't let yourself check stuff over and over...I also take medication. God Bless!
