> I have these thoughts that I might do something risky. Like I might not be able to control the bad thoughts I have in my head. I can't feel my emotions. Like sometimes I might flip out and not know right from wrong. This is totally out of character for me! I had this happen while taking Celexa and now on Effexor. Should I call my Pdoc or wait til next week when I have an appointment. I am scared to death! What if I carry out these thoughts? It has to be the meds because I never felt this way before. Please don't ask what the thoughts are, I am too embarrassed. Anyone else have this happen? Thanks Gloria
Gloria,I had that happen once, and it was scaaary. But you will be alright. Your biggest problem is that the fear itself will cause you to creep under your own shell so to speak and you will be all alone with your crazy thoughts. Forget about being embarrassed by your thoughts. It is more important that you don't isolate yourself and you reach out for the help of others. Your writing this post shows that you care enough about yourself to reach out for help. By all means contact your Pdoc, that is what he is there for. And for that matter talk to anybody else that you know and trust. Talking to others helps keep you grounded. Keep in your mind that you will 'open up your heart to others'. This will help keep you connected to the outside world and prevent you from falling into yourself. It also helps to pray, pray for your heart to be open to the love around you. You can't put yourself or others at risk when you are in the presence of love. Remember, you are in control, not those voices or thoughts that are trying to creep into your consciousness. And since you are in control, you will make every effort to open yourself up to the caring and love of the people and the world around you.
I will say a prayer for you, asking that care and love be sent towards you.
