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…
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?
