Hi,
Thanks for you query.
Meditation is the best known method to have a strong control over the thoughts you have.
You may also take help from a Counselor who shall discuss with you about the type of thoughts you get and other facts related to your life which helps to find out the basis of the thoughts you get.Planning on managing the basic though or the stimulus which initiates such thoughts will surely help you to get rid of them.
Hope I answered your query.
Wish you good health.

Hi,
I just had a message from Customer care with fair usage of the service so tell me if it is ok to continue this discussion.
In fact, the triggers are :
- news about health I read on the tube or in newspapers , or on the radio and the comments of people around. It frightens me deeply . I do all my best to avoid the exposure to such info bt when it happens I over react.May be it is also due to the fact that my father is not very well.
- when I focus on health to keep going I have a counter thought that is not positive at all. It comes from nowhere.
- the last trigger is when I feel this little spasm in my foot or shoulder.
as my environment is not calm, I can have fears coming out often amplified by environment.
What should I do ? be more aggressive so I do not listen to ntot so good news ? Keep focusing on health ? investigate more this question of spasm and look for natural cures to get rid of them ? magnesium for instance ?

Hi,
Thanks for the information.
The triggers has to be identified by a Counselor or a Psychiatrist which reduces subjective bias.
Though you have come up with some thoughts or triggers which induces such fearful or negative thoughts, you will not be able to fight them unless helped by others.A better person would be a Psychiatrist or a Counselor.He will study the pattern of thoughts you get and counteract them accordingly just by filling thoughts into you.It is a complex process and needs a trained professional to have better results.Do consult one .
Wish you good health.
