Hey there. If you're in NOVA like your profile says, get to Woodburn mental health on Gallows Road. It's county, they have to treat you. I didn't have insurance several months ago and that's where I went. They are very good. You can get the treatment you need there. please tell us how it goes. Keep us updated. Good luck!

on December 20th 2013 i went to an emergency room, i talked with a rn, then a social worker who was amazing gorgeous and super helpful, then i talked with a doctor (MD) i let them know all my real stories of mental trauma i was going through. they gave me 3 options, 1st one was to stay at the hospital overnight and they would put me on seroquel, 2nd option was to stay for a week in the ''mental hospital'' unit upstairs in the hospital, and 3rd option i took was to be discharged from the emergency room which is what i did but later i wished i stayed in the mental hospital, in another medical center they diagnosed me of having '' bipolar disorder '' the symptoms got worse and i ended up moving back to virginia to be with friends and family, the symptons of severe scary thoughts didnt go away so last night around midnight today on Christmas day i went to a hospital emergency room, i told the rn my scary fears and stories and then my blood, urine, and heart was checked, then i talked to a doctor and after that i had a video chat with an awesome Psychiatrist, i let her know everything, she told me that i am a drug addict, and that 10 years of abusing cannabis, alcohol, and other hard drugs was not good for the mind, also she let me know that i have a '' thought disorder and Psychosis ''
she told me dont give an audience to your terrible thoughts, then she told me to be at the Assessment Center at noon today on Christmas, my friends drove me i talked with a psychiatrist there today, i told him my real stories and fears, the diagnosis of this visit was '' Bipolar 1 disorder, manic, moderate '' he told me that bipolar disorder can absolutely have intrusive thoughts involved with it. he Prescribed me '' DIVALPROEX SOD DR 500 MG TAB '' take 1 tablet twice daily, i will visit him this monday for a follow up '' crazy train '' ![]() Last edited by FooZe; Jan 03, 2014 at 11:20 PM.

Hi Helpme,
I see a lot of people have given you some good advice already. I can understand having intrusive thoughts. They get so overwhelming sometimes I can't even take it. Cognitive therapy can help. You can work on it with someone if its hard for you to motivate yourself. I also found that getting that obsessive energy out while running or exercising helps also. Also, try slowing your thoughts down so they are more manageable and less overwhelming. Take things slow and one step at a time. I think that it would be good to talk to a doctor and see what resources you can tap into in your community. I go to a therapist that only charges me $10 per session. Maybe going to support groups can help you too. ![]() |

This happens to me too. I'm sorry but I don't understand it either. I wish I could help more. But all I can really say is, you're not alone. I send my best wishes to you.

I've been on the ( divalproex 500mg tab ) My intrusive thoughts of writing hate violent emails messages , and fears that I harmed food and drinks with cleaning products didnt immediately go away, so I went back to the " psychiatric assessment center " on December 12/28/2013 and the doctor also put me on " olanzapine 10mg tab " the doctor said it would help me with my severe intrusive thoughts, I have to take one olanzapine 10mg tab nightly, tomorrow on Saturday I see the doctor , I'm gonna let him know the meds kinda calmed down the severe intrusive thoughts , but the scary thoughts are still there , maybe him adding me on an anti depressant like Prozac would help with this depressions and help stop the obsessive bad thoughts.....
It's been 7 days since I smoked cannabis I promised my mother I will never smoke cannabis ever again And I don't drink alcohol either The doctor did say I have psychosis and thought disorder " I just want to wake up and be normal again , I want to have a clear mind with good healthy thoughts " I am all peace and love Please lord and Christ help me |

what about those who keep questioning themselves as to whether they might have already done some of these things, either very recently, or in the past???!!!

I am still on Prozac for now, and it seems to help a little with depression and doesn't seem to have the awful side effects of the other drugs. Here is one series of articles that has helped me: ocdspecialists.com/2013/06/jon-hershfield-mft-on-harm-ocd-part-one There are a lot of articles like this on the web. Hang in there! |
