Suggest Methods To Overcome Overbearing Thoughts
Hi,
My mind always gives me thoughts all the time even when I am doing some work, talking with somebody or watching TV. Sometimes, it seems that it is trying to impose its thoughts over me. It is now getting very disturbing, I am not able to bear it. My mind is giving me thoughts which I do not want to think. If I try to control it it becomes aggressive. I am not able to understand what to do.

Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns
I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. This is simply called obsession. You had that disturbing experience once. You expected it to happen again and tried. Then you started experiencing it as you were expecting it. Then your body brought the familiar symptom because you are expecting it. Then you started worrying that the symptom is coming again and again and expect it and close your eyes. Body brings it again as you are expecting it. You become worried and so on. That is obsession in simple terms. Ignore it and the problem vanishes.
If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further.
Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.

You had not given any noteworthy symptoms also. But for mental illness, A qualified psychiatrist is the right specialist . But she also needs psychotherapy and relaxation.
