How to Stop Overthinking Intrusive Thoughts?

Tik tok has helped anytime I’m over thinking or having intrusive thoughts. A few videos in and i forgot what i was thinking about

I have a bad problem with those I get almost all day long everyday, sumtimes I don’t even realize it’s an intrusive thought I get so stuck on it but my therapist told me every time I get one to notice it then think of a stop sign and breath tell it to stop, that that’s what is an intrusive thought invading my head it’s not me

thank you all for the advice ❤️

Haven't figured it out either 🙁

i use positive mantras

I've never had much luck with my antidepressants or anxiety meds. Listening to alan watts lectures for years has helped me the most. Feel what you need to feel and the root of suffering comes from attachment. Learn to let go and go with the river. By letting things be and controlling what we can it has given me the chance to relax and accept life for what it is.

not sure if this advice will help you.. but usually I just try to distract myself. anything you might find fun, baking, arts and crafts.. stuff like that. trying to focus on a show might help 2! :) Sometimes I try to reason with myself as well.. resurring yourself and knowing you dont want them may also help... so sorry if this isnt useful 2 u :(
