I keep having the constant worry that someone is hearing my thoughts. Sometimes I don't realize I'm worrying until I do, and then I obsess over it. I try to talk myself out of it but it's really hard to and it gets to the point that it starts messing with my day. I have been diagnosed with anxiety, is this related?

Hi AE and welcome to the A/P!

I am sorry to hear of these recent challenges...I know how challenging they can be!

Obsessive/intrusive thoughts can certainly be attributed to anxiety and possibly OCD tendencies.

Logically you know that the worry is irrational/not possible...but the concern remains.

Using the Therapy Worksheets from our Resources can help to diffuse/redirect this kind of thinking.

Peace and progress...and keep posting.

Hi

Welcome to the forum you will find good support here.

Intrusive thoughts are definitely down to anxiety/ocd I struggle with them myself and like to use Mindfulness Meditation to help with this issue we have some good links in our resources so take a look.
