Hi. I don't know how to explain this problem quite well but I'll give it a shot. I can't control myself from saying words to myself. I don't say them aloud but I do say them to myself. I have this urge to say these words and I can't control the urge. I feel like my self conscious mind is playing games with me. The words that I say are negative words and words I do not wanna hear. For example I can't stop my self from saying to myself the f word to the devil. I then say to myself after I hear myself say that "forgive me God." But sometimes when I'm saying "forgive me God" I hear myself saying the f word and it slips and I say it accidentally to God. I'm worried that God might think I'm saying that to him on purpose. I dunno what's going on can someone please help me :(?

You may want to go see your primary care physician about this. Before your visit, write down your symptoms and concerns and share this list with your doctor. Make a list of all of the medicines (prescription and over the counter), supplements, etc. that you are taking as well as any and all illnesses that you know of that run in your family and share this with your doctor. Ask your doctor for a thorough physical exam, including full bloodwork and other testing. If you can rule out the basic possibilities, then you can try a visit to a psychiatrist. When you see him/her, be sure to bring a list of your symptoms and concerns as well as a copy of all of the bloodwork and testing that your primary care physician performed.
Good luck!

Ok thanks. Could this also be tourette syndrome? I know people who have that can't control themselves from saying words but they say them aloud. I'm not saying them aloud only inside myself.

Junior, do you suffer from anxiety?

yes I do. I'm paranoid about the words that I say that they can change someone. So it makes me anxious. I'm also obsessed now with those words I say. I just got into the habit of saying them so much.

Junior, have you considered therapy? Anxiety is very treatable.

Junior - I urge you to check out the obcessions and compulsions board......sounds like OCD to me, and those thoughts are called intrusive thoughts.

yes I am getting therapy for this. My counselor always reminds me that those thoughts that I have are irrational and not a rational thought. That makes sense to me so I got over those thoughts about the words being able to change someone. I don't get paranoid anymore. But the only problem now is I can't stop saying those words to myself. I'm not anxious about them as much as I used to be but I would like to get treated for it.
and thanks for the recommendation rose I'll look into that.

Junior, I used to have anxiety and I would have thoughts recirculate in my head and I would count things that I didn't need to, etc. After my anxiety went away because I found out why I had anxiety (which thoughts/emotions caused it) these things went away. I think that the anxious mind just likes to do these things because it is trying to calm itself by doing something repetitious.

Junior77, I have been seeing a therapist and psychiatrist for over 10 years now, maybe closer to 13 years. In that time they helped me a lot, especially with my depression. But they neglected to treat my OCD properly and I had no idea until I was at this site.
I then had my eyes open to my problems and I went back to their offices with armed truth about my symptons. My therapy took a great turn towards a breakthrough. That was a couple of weeks ago.
Learn as much as you can and talk with your counselor about it. It can only help.
