One thing that has really helped me manage those types of thoughts was not going on another med, but taking a small dose of seroquel in the morning. It is very good for OCD and anxiety, but it generally doesn't carry over from a nighttime dose to the daytime to treat that. It took me a little while to adjust to the sedation... now it just has a calming effect on me. It made a HUGE difference.

That thinking was so tormenting in the 1980's, that I was thinking about somehow having my brain cut so that it would stop. I was waking up, and the thoughts were so tormenting that I didn't know what to do. At that time I was taking very little medicine. Honestly, it was torturous, and awful.
I'm on more, and better medications now. When I hear them talking about taking away healthcare, some of those type of thoughts have come back.
I wonder if the news people know how it affects us when they hype these issues up. I also wonder if the politicians have a heart left, or have their hearts grown cold. BF
