Struggling with intrusive thoughts and anxiety

Hello there! Im gonna put a ”TW”

I’m reaching out because I’ve been struggling with intrusive thoughts and anxiety for several years, and it can feel really overwhelming. I often worry that I might have hurt or disappointed people, or made someone angry, even when nothing has actually happened. I also experience intrusive thoughts about worst‑case scenarios, like accidents, serious illness, or death affecting me or my loved ones. Sometimes I feel a strong urge to act or “do something” to prevent bad things from happening, which leads me to check things, plan excessively, or move quickly as if I need to stay ahead of something.

I find it difficult to stop my mind from replaying situations or imagining everything that could go wrong, and I carry a lot of guilt or responsibility for things that aren’t really within my control.

I’m trying to understand what I’m going through, and I would really like to connect with anyone who has experienced similar things.
