Hi Justme,
How are you feeling today?
am tryna convince myself i am not mad!! monica am on prozac at the moment dunno if it gunna work just getting rid of the thoughts would do me for now. was just thinking about how different my life is now compared to b4 all this... its saturday night i used to be out now on a saturday night i sit and worry about hurting people and myself and am too scared to go out. this does get better doesnt it i feel like am losing hope.
You are not going mad hun, I have felt exactly how you describe and I'm almost through the other end now, and you will be too. You will gain control of your life again with time and become that person you were before, please know this. It really does get better and the thoughts do subside.
Keep talking on here if it helps, I remember when I was suffering terrible anxiety and thoughts that reading and posting on here helped me enormously.
Love and hugs
Scarlet xxxxx

Hi Justme
There is nothing wrong with you other than PNI mate, and you are in the right place here as we have all been there. I remember having a conversation with my OH at one point saying I just wanted to be locked away somewhere until someone could make me better. In hindsight I am VERY glad this didnt happen as I would have missed out on so much, but I do know exactly how you feel babes, and I promise it does get better x
Luv WG

Hi Justme,
It's PNI hun. I was the same, thought I was going mad, had continuous intrusive thoughts, was afraid of everything, feared I might lose control, became depressed, wished I was dead...you name it. I even spent a few months in a depression ward, and the doctors spent time trying to convince me that it was was anxiety/depression and I didn't believe them. When you are suffering it's always the case as you can't see the wood for the trees. But I am almost recovered and here to tell the tale and you will recover too, it just takes a bit of time.
We are here for you, so ask us anything that will help you.
Love and hugs
Scarlet xxxxxx

god today has been the worse day of my life i rang the crisis team cos i thought id gone mad. the thoughts were terrible... i was put on meds 5 days ago and am sure this was making the anxiety thinkin etc worse. went a bit mad today with the panic and not wantin to b left alone. have stopped taking the meds now cos am sure they made things worse. dunno what to do now whether to go back to docs and try some new anti depressants or whether to go it alone without. am scared to go without meds in a way though because i suffered very bad with the the pni for 4 years last time.

What did the crisis team say were they helpful. Sounds not - but sometimes we can't take everything in. Please consider that meds can make things worse before making things better. It can take awhile to kick in. Its not easy to fine tune what we need and it is a bit of minefiedl. But you can be helped and derserve it....

they wasnt helpful bam.. in fact have never spoken to ppl that were so unhelpful! they said to go to a&e. i didnt go thought whats the point am gunna b sittin up there for hours for them to tell me what i already know and to go back to my gp! in regards to the meds they were deffo making all the symptoms 100 times worse i couldnt sit still/ the obssessions got worse/was agigtated etc. i think u have to weigh up the pros and cons with em bam and i felt so outta control on them i couldnt handle it. xxxx

need to ask u girls something lol this will make u think am crazy!! whenever ive seen a shrink they ask if i hear voices i dont hear anythin but 1 symptom that bothers me now and was bothering me b4 with the pni is and have read on that anxiety link u gave me scarlet is the symptom of mind chatter i feel like am always having imaginery conversations in my head. its hard to explain but its like if im meeting someone later on in the day im already going though what am gunna say to them and what they gunna say back etc. it kinda like am awareness of everything thats going through my mind. this is making me panicky cos in a way its like having voices in ya head. lol am sounding mad does anyone understand this?!

Sounds normal to PNI what you are experiencing hun honestly, and nope you are not going mad. I had terrible intrusive thoughts and chattered in my head to myself, constantly trying to reason with the thoughts. Sometimes the anxiety makes us worry about having something worse than anxiety. It's not voices in your head hun, it's 'you' trying to make sense of all the thoughts, tis self-analysis/introspection to the extreme. A constant dialogue with ourself that never eases up. This is one of the symptoms of PNI, and the anxiety we feel becasue of these thoughts makes us worse. Sometimes everything we read or hear can make us feel anxious, and we can read something and start convincing ourselves that we have it. Does this sound like what you are experiencing JM? This is anxiety. I promise you hun, that these thoughts and chatters will go in time and you are not crazy. Did you ever check out this site. www.anxietynomore.co.uk/anxiety_worrying_thoughts.htmlWhen I was at my worst I rang the crisis team up ever half hour, they were fed up of me. I asked them to take me to the mental hospital as I felt like I was losing my marbles...they didn't, but they weren't very helpful to be honest. Keep talking to us and ask us anything. Scarlet xxxx

Oh Hun, I'm sorry I wasnt around. I had to go the doc with my OH and havent been around much for a day or 2.
How are you feeling now. I've had similar problems with the voices. You arent losing the plot hun. You will get better. Give the meds time to work. They will help xx
You need to talk? I'll try and keep a eye out if you do x
