Anxiety's tricky. There's a lot of advice on this forum. If it's depression, you can find the 'depression' sub-forum on the homepage.

Intrusive thoughts are nothing unusual, (particularly for this community!). But you could look into CBT - cognitive behavioural therapy, to understand and break down mistaken thoughts. You could try things like exercise, meditation and making sure to socialise, all of these help with anxiety.

There's plenty of advice on the forum so have a look around and ask away.

Hi sonamz,
I'm sorry to hear that you've been struggling with anxiety and depression related to your imagination. It's understandable to feel anxious when imagining things, even if they're positive, but it's important to remember that they are just thoughts and not necessarily reality.

Have you considered speaking with a therapist or counselor about your anxiety and intrusive thoughts? Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) can be particularly helpful in addressing negative thought patterns and reducing anxiety. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques such as meditation and exercise, as well as maintaining social connections, can also be helpful in managing anxiety.

Remember that you're not alone in this, and there are many resources available to support you. Don't hesitate to reach out for help and support.
