scary thoughts
Hi: I to have had scary thoughts. I don't like them at all and it really made me start believing in them over time. Since I started this program, I realized that the scary thoughts are there when I am anxious and depressed. I didn't allow myself to think otherwise before. I can't explain mine either. I am a normal person who has a great life. I went through a rough miscarriage that brought up all kinds of guilt. I hated myself. Soon I started having really scary thoughts. They would just jump up. Out of no where. For no reason. I felt horrible. I am listening to myself now. Everytime I am depressed or anxious, there they come. If I am calm and relaxed and not blue, boom, they are not there. I didn't believe it before but after listening to tape 1 with the group, I found others had this happen to. I wasn't alone. I wasn't a freak. You are not alone in this either. Our minds are tricky. You will find a calm where you can look at yourself and realize that everything is OK. Do the relaxation tapes a lot right now. Get used to being relaxed. That was scary for me, I couldn't let go. But I am getting better at it and it feels so much better. I can actually talk about this now.
