What I use to do is a rubber band thing. Wear a rubber band on your wrist and when you start to fantasize pull back and let go. It is a sting(not bad though), it worked for me for my case. It is looked down upon because sometimes people do it too much and it creates a lot of pain.

@sfmark12 Great idea that I've been trying since yesterday! It's a good distraction from fantasies.

A less negative method would be to just get a fidget spinner, or any other similar coping prop. Something physical that you can always carry, to distract you. They do it in anger therapy sometimes, any instrument that bears the brunt so that neither you nor the world has to.

Thanks guys! Great ideas! Im gonna try these out! Im a little desperate. ..

Thanks that makes me feel better lol!

I ordered a fidget spinner. Now i just have to find an elastic that i can comfortably wear around my wrist! :-) :-)

Wow! You're putting up your best fight, I'm rooting for you!

Thank you! Its comments like this that really get me going! Hows it going for you?

No prob! Feeling so tired with the constant chatter of my brain and I can't find a way to shut it up. I need to search for a solution at any cost.

Same! Im so distracted and just cant seem to focus! Thats why im gonna try those 2 ideas! If you find any other helpful tips please post! Good luck to you! Hope you feel better soon! Keep me posted!

Thank you very much! Let's do our best! :)

Hate the thoughts. Truly hate them. Feel disgusted by them.

@Star Lord i like that better. Despise the thoughts, but not myself!:-) :-)

I kinda took it to the extreme and hated myself as well as my thoughts, so maybe not a good idea to do what I did. But hate the thoughts definitely.

Thanks- i sorta love them but hate the idea of having them all at once. But im gonna start to actually hate them! Watch this space!;-)

If you like them or love them, you won't ever escape them. The rush you get from them is what makes you think you love them, but deep down you don't and you know it. Grab hold of that deep down feeling and pull it up.

Thanks Star Lord! Im gonna give it my best!
