I took a birth control pill and started obsessing about what side effects it had and if it would effect my hormones and anxiety. I felt really weird after the pill and I don't know if it was me just obsessing or the pill. I have a fear of going crazy and I started obsessing if the pill would make me go crazy and I have started having obssesive thoughts about hurting my children. These thoughts really scare me to where I don't want to be around my children by myself. Am I going crazy? Can anyone help?

Most of us are afraid of medication. That is bec. we are so into control. Most of us think "if I take this pill-the pill will be in control not I..."

As you become more adept at applying the skills you will become more comfortable trusting.

Remember lesson ten teaches us that it isn't THE thought that is the problem...it is THE WAY we think.

The focus needs to be CHange the obsessing NOT just the thought. Thoughts come and go...obsessing is a bad habit...use your skills to change this.

You can do it! Carolyn

Everyone who has anxiety go through this probalem. My scary thoughts are about life and logical thinking most people call it a disorder, its not. Its mind over matter that medication can't help. I have an obsession of success. Its hard to explain. I was in an institution for a couple of weeks and they actually believe that the medication is a supplement for anxiety. I am young and a lot of my problems come from my past. At times when I am around children I lose a part of my common sense mind and want to hurt children. Its sad yes but what I do to actually prevent myself from the thought of action is that I take a reality time for myself. I'm actually scared to have children because of my thoughts. I don't have any kids, in the future I wish to bare a child. I won't bring a child in this world until my spiritual mind has taken over my thoughts and actions.

I have been on the birth control pills for about 8 years off and on and they are fine!! Trust me I am the biggest worry wort I won't take antidepressents or anything else but I take these and they are fine. Trust me I don't have any side affects so don;t worry you'll do fine. All the side affects that they list are very uncommon, but they still have to list them by law. Trust me and good luck!!!!

I can relate to the scary thoughts and fears of hurting people.I too get this.I thought what if I
killed my family?This disturbed me because I
have NEVER hurt anybody.It gives me a sick feeling.I know I wouldn't actually do it.
I also fear I will kill my dog too but I love her
also.I have no reason to want to hurt anyone.
So I think it is safe to say that we will NOT carry out the act.You are not alone in your thinking.
