I have been to two different therapists and both have said the same thing. You are not crazy nor will you ever go crazy. They have told me that people who are crazy do not worry about going crazy they are just that way. I used to have this one bad. I would spend hours and hours getting myself into these negative thought patterns where at the end i was so drained I even felt off. I would go on the internt (which I suggest you dont do) and start looking at all of these sites for schizophrenia. This just made it worse. You will get over this. Trust your therapist, she knows what shes talking about!
Also everyone does get these random thoughts. I asked my fiance and he says he gets them once in awhile but he gives them no attention because he thinks there ridiculou and just thoughts. We on the other hand think they mean something and they dont. We look and look for some hidden meaning and the truth is that there is none. They are just thoughts! Head up!
Still obsessing about going crazy, HELP!
