How to get this out of my head even though i deal with it daily?

Question

There are a few things that bug me daily, i wake up thinking about them, and during the day on and off, and then at night before bed. How can i get this stuff out of my head, and everytime it comes up I tell myself No, everything will be okay. Don't worry or stress over it but it's still in my head and wont go away. Have you ever thought like this to? What do you do to help yourself get over it and move on with your life so it doesn't drag you down or make your day worse...? Nice comments please if your going to say something rude, don't bother writing it will be reported to yahoo answers. Thank you to everyone that has something decent to say....

Answer 1

I pray and release it to the lord. Then, it all goes away.

Answer 2

When I was in my early 20s I was sharing with an older woman that I was worried because I was having trouble paying my bills. She gave me a bit of advice that I'll share. And it was so simple it wasn't until some time had passed that I realized that it was truly a gem. She said, "Just do the best you can and don't worry about it."

So the 'don't worry about it' sounded pretty trite, but it was the 'do the best you can' - in my case, stop partying so much - that hit home.

I don't know how to help you not think about stuff, but if you are truly doing the best you can regarding solving or fixing things that are in your power to fix, then you're on the right track.

Well, you're Yahoo! name says it all....be happy or live miserably. Some people have this complex where they obsess over things that have or could go wrong, it's simply a personality type. I'd suggest trying to grasp it- deal with it and let it go. If it's something that has a solution, be proactive and try to get the problem gone. If they are just general worries, like your family's health or something that could go wrong at work....try to remember that worrying doesn't solve anything- it only makes you miserable!!

A great way to deal is something I've tried...tell yourself that you can handle anything that comes your way. Be confident in yourself- people are only as strong as they believe they are. If you know you can handle anything, these problems won't seem so looming.

I hope this helps you out.

I quit smoking nearly 2 years ago and tell myself No everyday! I REALLY enjoyed smoking, and I'm sure I still would. As soon as a thought about going back to it pops into my mind I replace the thought with a pleasant one. Try coming up with a pleasant memory or thought to replace the one you don't want. Then every time you catch yourself starting down the old path, redirect it to the new one. It will get easier the more you do it, just like hitting the delete key every day until finally, you've washed the old out and replaced it with what you want. Good Luck! =)

Answer 5

don't know if you a person that likes to write or not but me I write things down that bother me. I started a journal and i keep all my thoughts and problems in it, i keep suggestions and little notes to myself. I know that sounds crazy but instead of focusing on it all day i can later come back and read the notes or thoughts i had on the subject and try to solve it later it keeps me from talking to myself like a nut job. Or you can find someone who is not close to you an tell them what's going on make sure you choose someone who has nothing to gain or lose that way you will get an open ear and a honest non bias opinion.

Well, you're being cryptic about what it is and that is important. If these things are divorce issues then it is HARD to get those things out of your head. For a while at least. That's what my experienced friends tell me anyway and it seems to be true.

Surround yourself with positive supportive people that have something to offer you in terms of help for any issues you have in your life. Also, I find it helpful to "distract" myself when my mind starts chewing on things that I can't let go of. Most times I pick up the book I'm reading and purposefully start reading just to think about something else. At work I have other things I do with similar results.

Good luck to you.

Answer 7

It would be helpful if you were a little more specific. If the things you are thinking about are problems that need to be resolved, you might want to ask for advice on how to tackle the problems rather than just on how to stop thinking about them.

It's also possible that you actually have a very mild form of OCD. Some people with OCD don't have the compulsions, they just have the obsessions - thoughts or worries that bother them and that they can't seem to get rid of. In people with OCD, thought patterns get "stuck" in your head, and simply trying not to think about them doesn't make them go away. If you think this might be the case, talk to your doctor about the problem, and he or she might want to refer you to a psychiatrist. If the thoughts are troubling enough, you might be prescribed a Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI) or other drug known to help people with OCD stop obsessing.

Answer 8

We all have something or somethings that we wish we could forget but we sometimes remember bad better than good. Work at remembering the good and form a habit of thinking the good things when the bad comes to mind. They dont have to be related. As you get older I think you will find you wont think about thease things so much.

Answer 9

A rubber band around your wrist may help - everytime the "bad" thoughts come - snap it... It is supposed to snap you out of it! It works for a lot of people!

Work out - go running and find other things to do to keep you mind off those things!

Also -you have to talk to someone about it! Find a friend or someone you trust and talk to them to get the stuff off your chest!

Or- seek professional counseling - they may have some good other ideas and if everything fails, sometimes anti-anxiety meds can really help - but your counselor and doctor would need to help you with that!

BTW - most people go through this in their life - whether it is money or family issues... You'll get through it!

Answer 10

Write things down that are bothering you so much. After you write them down look at them and come up with a solution to get rid of it. If nothing can be done on the things you write then you will know it's not worth worrying about because it is out of your hands.

Answer 11

many human beings pass their heads throughout the time of a communique. I do...with sturdy reason. i'm listening to impaired and because my listening to is slighly greater beneficial in one ear, I even tend to coach my head so as that my authentic ear is closer to the guy i'm conversing with (meaning I turn my head to the LEFT and that i'm a Roman Catholic). i do no longer comprehend the place you acquire the concept that a man or woman ought to turn their head a undeniable direction to be "commonly used". it somewhat is between the strangest issues i've got ever heard. As for non secular options (or loss of), it truly is none of your employer. we are all entitled to our very own non secular ideals. in case you do no longer accept as true with the ideals of your co-workers, it somewhat is your authentic. yet you haven't any longer any authentic to declare persons are incorrect through fact they suspect in some thing (no rely how awful you think of it somewhat is) diverse from you. while you're that uncomfortable, seek for different employment. besides the undeniable fact that, i propose you to maintain your comments to your self. you're judging human beings on issues that are petty to YOU and that are under no circumstances odd.
