Depression, Anxiety & Instrusive Thoughts

by Amber

Hi my name is Amber. I am 16 years old and about three months ago came down with depression, anxiety and horrible intrusive thoughts. I have always been the person to save spiders and bugs from being stepped on and rescue hurt birds, so to have these thoughts really scared me. I am on medication and that was helping but I still have intrusive thoughts and I always feel empty and I can not cry. I really need some advice and support. Thank you so much for this site.

Hi Amber,

Just a thought - feeling "empty" or not being able to cry may also be symtoms of dissociation. You should probably discuss that with your doctor and a competent therapist.

Also, don't let the thoughts scare you so much. Most of us think many things we would never do. Just be aware and keep seeking help and answers.
