Why does it has to be so constant the intrusive thoughts, Derealization and worrying about my breathing with dying, those have been the worse and so tiring, options and alternatives always appear so I'm glad about that, as ussual thanks for the supportive people :-)

Siqnik,

I'm going through the same thing. My intrusive thoughts have been causing me to feel anxiety, guilt, and just a overall bad feeling. Ive been working on mindfulness and just accepting these thoughts and know that because I feel all of these things I know that I am a moral person and working towards getting better. I really hope you know that I'm right there with you in the suffering and even though my head is still currently stuck in the clouds we need to keep pushing, the blue sky is there. You have Skype at all?

I have completely given up drinking as I wanna get better with time.
Drinking and anxiety ,depression meds is worst combination.
I have read many places you should never drink with depression meds.
I am becoming more conscious of how I eat and what I drink.
I am going to miss my glass of wine which I would order rarely with dinner but it's ok.
Even after giving up drinking my thoughts are terrible than before.
My Xanax,Ativan,Lexapro nothing seems to give me hope .
My doc wants me to go to group therapy but I am scared to talk or hear other ppl stories as feel sad to the core.
I do not know or see any hope ....

Hello,

Hey there, intrusive thoughts are very common symptoms of anxiety. CBT greatly helped me deal with this issue.

Meditation, prayer, and listening to music can also help. Sometimes the best way to avoid this thoughts is to distract yourself. So you can also try watching a movie, playing video games, and painting.

I hope these suggestions can be helpful. :)
