I know that people with GAD mostly worry about everyday routine things (or at least that's what all the books say!), but I worry about things like cancer and old age (i'm 32) and various disabilities... lately, my obsessive thinking has been out of control. Fighting the thoughts doesn't seem to help, and when I think of my T, instead of feeling encouraged, I get even more scared because I'm convinced she's going to get cancer and die. So i can't even really reach out to her, because hearing her voice is too painful at those moments... it's like a huge movie screen that takes over reality at those moments and I can't make it go away, I can't convince myself that it's only make-believe...I go on doing the things I need to do, and put on an act for my husband, but inside I'm falling apart, thinking I can't go on living like this... what do i do? How do I get rid of obsessive thoughts? I started taking zoloft a few weeks ago, but it hasn't kicked in yet... do you guys know if it's supposed to help with this? I'd appreciate any feedback, thanks!!!
