Welcome to Psych Central (PC). I am sorry you are feeling anxious about dark thoughts. I heard this program on it that talks about 3 or 4 different kinds of therapy dealing with dark thoughts. Even though they seem really dark they have no real power.

Many people who are actively involved in Psych Central find it helps take them out of their own problems to develop empathy for others. And their problems are more manageable the more they help others.

You need 5 posts or replies to other posts to use the chat room. Bipolar Chat is at 9PM Saturday and their are other chats too. When you have 5 posts you can check the schedule on the Calendar in the blue bar above.

Glad you are joining us here. Some people find the forums give them the compassion and empathy they seek. http://forums.psychcentral.com
