Question
How do I stop engaging with the thoughts or stop ruminating when I can barely think of anything else without it turning into something it’s not?

You have to first remind yourself that your rumination cannot protect you. It will only 100% of the time increase your anxiety. Knowing that, you choose not to focus or direct attention to the intrusive thoughts.

question
does anyone else use the fact that they dont like their thoughts as a confirmation/compulsion, and or when you go through something stressful with little to no compulsions take it as a sign they actually like it? is this apart of usual rumination or am I expirencing something different? and how do you deal with it?

Ruminating Thoughts & Anxiety
I'm having the hardest time right now with my own ruminating negative thoughts that may or may not possibly come true. I fear the worst and replay what that looks like in my head over and over. The best I can do is my best and wait for the horror to end. I want to cry, but can't. I'm scared and alone in my head. My anxiety is extreme. What should I do in the meantime while I'm going through this? How can I minimize or stop the way I'm feeling? Please, I need help.

Question…
When you get a stuck thought in your mind, as stupid or untrue as it may be, how do any of you block them out, or try to at least? It’s like my mind has another voice telling me making up the stupidest things?
