i'm not quite sure about how to explain this but I'll try.I constantly have a barrage of pictures popping up in my mind all day and most of them are negative scary pictures.I've tried to control them,but to no avail and positive thought talk does'nt work either,Ive been on Paxil and it did help but I don't like the fact of being on a prescripton med.The psychiatrist told me it was OCD which kind of comforted me knowig that it had a name and there was a med I could take to relieve it.But my question is-is there a natural way or method of controlling these automatic thoughts or is it truly a chemical imbalance that needs medication to overcome?
