Why is it the only think I think about?????????? How can I convince myself it isn’t true when it feels so real??????

It is hard to ocotnrol things and it does feel so real. Especially today, when I have thought that will not get out off my head I try too tell myself that I am okay and nothing will happen. And I try too focus on other things and try too work out or walk or even if the sun is shining to go outside too get some. I did today but I went too sleep on my hammock and got sunburn on both my arms hahahahaha.

Little things help, it will not fully go away but it does help too try some small steps.

You shouldn’t try and convince yourself that it isn’t true. You are reinforcing your intrusive thoughts, feelings, or memories by participating and analyzing them. The compulsion in the situation is rumination/ worry which is mental and hard to train yourself to stop the bad habit. Recognize you have the thought and don’t participate in it at all. Don’t analyze, question, research, prove, etc. just focus your attention on the present moment (the best that you can) and you may have to do this repeatedly. Be gentle with your mind when you have to call it back to the present. It’s like training a little puppy :)
