I guess they could be called intrusive thoughts, some of them. Some seem to be just very negative. I definitely have severe depression, and am unable to take any psych meds.

I constantly think that something awful is going to happen to one of my kids or grandkids. Illness, accidents, etc. I don't worry so much about my dad that is 90 or my estranged sister. Also think that every twinge of pain I have is going to turn out to be something serious like a heart attack or other disease. I've been tested for heart problems. I'm afraid I'm going to say or do something wildly inappropriate when I am around others, mostly my kids. If I spoke out loud some of my thoughts, there is no telling what would happen. It would not be good.

I've had thoughts of hurting people which horrify me. I never act on them, they scare me to death...so why do I think such awful negative things? Is this just depression or severe anxiety? Definitely I have the occasional but too frequent for my taste thought of hurling myself down my stairs or causing my own death by car accident or self harming, but these thoughts are just fleeting. They mostly seem to serve to torture my peace of mind!!!
