How to deal with recurrent unnecessary thoughts?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

I am sorry that you have been struggling with unwanted thoughts for several months. It can be challenging to deal with intrusive thoughts, especially when they interfere with your daily life. However, one technique that may be helpful is called "thought stopping." The basic idea is to interrupt the unwanted thought whenever it comes up and redirect your attention to something else. Here is how to do it:

1. Notice when the unwanted thought pops into your head. Then, try to be aware of the thought without judging it or getting caught up in it.

2. Say "stop" to yourself, either out loud or silently in your head.

3. Immediately shift your attention to something else. This could be a pleasant memory, a calming image, music, or anything else that helps you feel good.

4. Repeat this process every time an unwanted thought comes up.

It may take some practice to get the hang of this technique, but over time it can help you feel more in control of your thoughts and reduce the impact of unwanted thoughts.

It is also important to take care of your mental health in other ways, such as getting enough sleep, eating a balanced diet, and exercising regularly. If you are still struggling with unwanted thoughts despite your best efforts, it may be helpful to talk to a mental health professional for additional support and guidance.

Hope this helps.

Thanks and take care.
