In reply to Can medications stop 'unhelpful' thoughts??????, posted by jms600 on January 27, 2010, at 16:04:30
> As part of my fairly severe GAD, panic disorder and unipolar depression, I constantly get what cognitive behavioral therapists term 'unhelpful thoughts'. If I'm walking with a friend down the street I get thoughts of pushing them into an oncoming car. If I'm at home eating, I get thoughts of stabbing a family member in the eye with a fork. If I'm in the supermarket I get thoughts of shouting and punching somebody standing next to me.

> I don't think these thoughts are a sign of psychosis. I find them very distressing and very upsetting - as well as giving me terrible panic attacks - but I still get them. There seems to be no reasoning behind them - they just occur in my mind and I'm absolutely terrified that one day I may just carry one of these thoughts out...

> I've been through 6 months of CBT but it hasn't helped all that much. I was therefore wondering (and hoping) that there was a medication out there that could help?? I'm currently taking 150mg Effexor, 600mg lithium, 600mg Lyrica and 40mg buspirone.

You wrote,[...if I am walking..with a friend, I have thoughts of pushing him into an oncomming car..no reasoning behind these thoughts...I may carry one of these thoughts out...].
I have been revealed as to the origin of those type of thoughts and how to overcome them.
Now in the scriptures that the Jews use, a man named Cain killed his brother, Able. Where did the thought that he had to do that come from?
If you are interested in knowing what may be unbeknownst to you, accept this opportunity to come alomg with me. But if you do not want to here from this perspective, then reject this opportunity to know what has been revealed to me.
