How do I know for sure?

[burenokbepParticipant]

People here talk about bad intrusive thoughts and I’m worried about being one of them. I have scary thoughts and I’m trying to figure out if they’re intrusive ones. How do I know?

Best thing to do is speak to a professional. Go to your GP, they will refer you if they think it appropriate. Or go private if you can afford it, no waiting times.

Don’t try to self diagnose. You’ll convince yourself you have every known condition!
