BF, It could definitely be linked to your OCD and catastrophic thinking related to general anxiety disorder. I know that when these types of thoughts hit you they can be torturous. I'm so sorry that you have to struggle with them...
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. |

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 |

Even though I'm on more and better meds, I still suffer from those types of thoughts sometimes. It is torture... My anxiety is worse in the morning in general, but it's awful to wake up in total panic like that. I do think that there are still some politicians that aren't corrupt and have hearts. I think that many of them mean well, but are misguided. I wouldn't know what to do to take care of and please everybody in the country, or keep them safe. I think the people at the news networks think quite a bit about people with anxiety disorders because they feed off of people's anxiety. I don't think they care one bit about how it really effects them, or people with worse mental health conditions tho. |

you could say they want to keep us informed so instead of being passive we will write our congressmen and threaten not to vote for them
you can also say that God is testing us |
