Intrusive thoughts are just plain terrible.. Where they come from and why? anybodies guess to be honest. I deal with my in a 2 part way... *** mind racing thinking all kinds of terrible things*** First.. I take a deep breathe in and see it for what it is... a irrational fear of X happening. I write that down on a slip of paper and burn it to ashes... It's a way of releasing the fear, with practice I seldom ever have to actually write it down and burn it anymore. I have learned how to see it( intrusive thought) for what it is , dismiss it and continue about my day. Nothing will get rid of them 100% , but you can reduce it's effect on you.

Mindfulness and Self grounding <~~~ Must have skills !
