New mental symptoms: intrusive catastrophising thoughts?

[[Be...]]

I've started having intrusive thoughts and fears about bad things.  So bad that I'd just typed it all out and then freaked out that talking about it would make it happen so I deleted that part of the post.  is this a normal part of withdrawal?  I've never had issues like this that I can remember.

Yes, OCD. You think that if you think in something, it will happen. Of course its not rational. But our thinking process os not working well. Ive been there...

I've been having them too, thoughts of me or family members getting cancer and dying, getting in a horrible accident, imagining someone shooting the big pretty egret that hangs out in the park every day. It's like I'm always waiting for the next punch in the gut. My dr calls it anticipatory anxiety and wants to try a few sessions of "Brainspotting" on me. He says when it works, it works fast. I'll post on here if it does, I think I lot of us could benefit if so.

I'm just mustering through the days trying to distract myself from catastrophic thinking. It's really overwhelming me and has made simple functioning challenging. I've had mild bouts of this in the past but the intensity with which it's occurring now is out of this world. So you are definitely not alone.
