Dealing with Obsessive Thoughts: Seeking Tips and Ideas

I've been dealing with obsessive thoughts for 2-3 months now. I've tried many different methods to help, but none of them really worked. Does anyone have any tips or ideas?

Honestly what works for me (most of the time, not all the time) is being able to say "it's just a thought" or "that was a weird thought" or "I don't want to think about that anymore" having that awareness helps give you a one up on obsessive thoughts, and helps give you more control over them. It doesnt work for everyone, and it doesn't work all the time. But it's one way to try. Don't stop believing in yourself. You got this!
