I’m not sure what to do. I’ve been struggling with generalized anxiety disorder for so long now and nothing seems to work. Not sleep, not antidepressants, not activity, nothing. It just builds and builds. My head keeps getting filled with these negative thoughts that I KNOW aren’t true, and I have evidence to prove that their not. But every time I remind myself of the things that prove those thoughts wrong, my mind seems to double down and press the issue harder. It goes like this for example.

Mind: Dave isn’t really your friend.

Me: We talk a lot, even having phone calls that last for four hours.

Mind: He just puts up with you since you’ve been friends for so long.

Me: No, that’s not how that works. He’s always eager to talk.

Mind: He gets busy a lot when you ask to talk.

Me: Because he works weekends. 

Mind: He could be taking extra shifts to avoid you.

Me: There’s no proof of that.

Mind: So you can’t disprove it.

Things like that. Of course there aren’t voices in my head. That’s an example of a thought thread I keep having a lot. I don’t know where these things come from or how to stop them. Nobody I talk to seems to know. So now I’m resorting to strangers on the internet. Any advice is welcome. I can’t take this anymore. This has to stop.
