When having those kind of thoughts, I think it would be good to talk to a therapist about it. They can help you control your thoughts. Chances are it is just from the movie that you saw. You have it on your mind and now you notice things that weren't there before. Talk to a therapist, get your thoughts in order. I think you will be okay...

Hugs, Karen...

PS welcome to the forum.

Its very difficult but i move on ...i had medication for a month noofen 250 two time daily also xanax but i use xanax only when i may have a panic attack because i dont need to sleep , it just makes worser my situation i want to have energy ...the only which make me confused is that sometimes i think i have to put up with this during all my life because despite everythink i do anxiety comes to me :(

We have a thread called "depression resources", it is the first thread on this forum. There are sites and numbers to call that might help you. Mindful.org is a good one,, moodgym is another. I would check these out.

If they don't help, google meditation. It helps a lot. You can control so much within your own mind without medication.

I hope you feel better soon.

Hugs, Karen....

Learn breathing. In through the nose and out through the mouth with pursed lips. Called smelling the roses and blowing out the candles. It can stop an anxiety attack in it's tracks. Learn to put up a mental stop sign when bad thoughts come. Repeat "stop" three times. With practice this will help too.

I hope that you feel better soon.

Hugs, Karen...

I have read that when u say stop to them more they come to your mind i just neep to accept them to go away ...but how can i accept a suicidal thought...obssesion on these thoughts are making me to feel depressed and sometimes its hard to go on with those thoughts

We can't discuss the suicidal aspect of it here, but on the "depression resources" thread (at the top of the page) there are sites and numbers that you can call to get help. Do go to that thread and check it out.

Learning distractions helps. Keep your mind busy. The busier the better. Try to focus on only the task at hand through out the day. Thinking too much stinks. I use to do that, I still do at times. But keeping my mind and self busy helps.

When the thought comes. SAY STOP! And start reading a poem slow concentrating on it, to comprehend what your are reading. An articale from a mag, a page from a book, will work.

Go for a walk and say out loud to yourself; what a nice awning, what a colourful tree. Hello Mam', Good day sir, Nice dog you have there.

What another movie, like Caddy Shack or Strips where songs or lines will be in your head.

Before you know it the thoughts are gone.

Also SET YOUR BOUNDRIES, you were 'triggered' by that movie. Choose not to what movies with such subject matters.

Face it down, just word causing emotions. Emotions causing Fear. Fear can not hurt you unless you let it. Face it and say I am stronger than this.

Peace and strength
