Bad Thoughts, am I crazy?!
Question:
Bad Thoughts, am I crazy?
I have been having bad thoughts lately. I have been thinking of bad things that I wouldn't ever want to happen to someone. Why am I having these thoughts, does it mean that I am crazy or nuts? Why would they start? I am dealing with anxiety pretty bad right now, but why these thoughts. It really scares me. Please any information or answers or suggestions to help me calm down and relax and kick these bad thoughts would be very much appreciated!

it happens to some of us, and no ur not crazy. we all have thoughts were we want scream at a stranger or something (i dont know what kinda thoughts ur havin and this is probably not a good example), but ur anxiety wont help things, and its probably this that is causing it. so, the solution maybe - dont control these thoughts, u cant, but control the anxiety, u can :)
if u focus ur energy on these thoughts then they will add to ur anxiety and may further the depth of the thoughts and make u more fearful. what are u anxious about? answer this question to urself with total honesty and then say why am i anxious, what are the reasons. this may help to kick the anxiety. make a list, a step by step list in the things u want to acheive each day, make goals to chase and fill ur day with everything that doesnt remind u of the anxiety and this way u are redirecting the energies to something more fullfilling and hopefully the brain will forget it was ever anxious about anything.
do u have freinds, or family that knows these things or about the anxiety? speak with them but u must be open and honest so they know how best to help u from the outside. and u can work on the inside.
the good thing about being human is that we are a social species and many of us care for our fellow man and want to help them. im sure its the same in ur part of the world. i hope this helps a little :)
remember - ask urself why and deal with the whys, and then focus ur energy and stuff that makes u feel whole and i garauntee that these thoughts are nothing but a phase and u will leave them behind :)
all the best x
