yeah the anxiety goes the thoughts are reduced but do they ever go away completely  i believe at the right time at the right moment  intrusive thoughts can be overwritten and forgotten about via healthy string emotions like finding love again new excitement in life i went through an episode when i was 18 and it was severe for two months before it went away completely and i totally forgot about it until i had a second episode at 24 this time it’s lasted over a year due to lockdown there literally has been no distractions so hopefully as things go back to normal i can keep myself ultra busy until i have no space left in the old noggin to keep attention to the thoughts
