OKAY GUYS~ THIS WAS MY BIGGEST PROBLEM FOR A LONG TIME, NOW I HAVE TO SAY THAT IT REALLY IS NOT A PROBLEM LIKE IT WAS, I STILL HAVE MOMENTS WHERE I OBSESS, BUT I HAVE TO SAY THAT FOR THE MOST PART I AM FREE OF THIS TERRIBLE AND ANOYING PROBLEM, THANKK GOD! THE BEST ADVICE THAT I CAN GIVE IS TO TELL YOURSELF IT DOES NOT BOTHER YOU, EVERYTIME YOU THINK THAT SCARY RIDICULUS THOUGHT TELL YOURSELF, WHO CARES THAT DOESENT SCARE ME, EVEN THOUGH IT DOES, TRUST ME THE MORE AND MORE YOU TELL YOURSELF YOU DONT CARE ABOUT THAT THOUGHT THE MORE AND MORE YOU BEGIN TO BELIEVE IT, THE OTHER THING IS TO ACCEPT THAT THE THOUGHT IS THERE, I THINK WE TRY TO RUN FROM IT AND IT DOESNT LEAVE THAT WAY, HONESTLY ITS LIKE YOU HAVE TO SAY OKAY THIS THOUGHT OF (FILL IN THE BLANK) IS HERE RIGHT NOW, OH WELL IT WILL PASS, IT IS JUST A THOUGHT, PERIOD! YOU WILL HAVE TO DO THIS OVER AND OVER AGAIN BUT YOU ARE RETRAINING YOURSELF TO NOT FEAR AND RUN FROM THOUGHTS! THE OTHER THING IS MAKE THEM FUNNY, I USED TO HAVE THE ONE ABOUT CHOCKING PEOPLE WHEN EVER IT WOULD COME TO MIND I WOULD REPLACE THE IMAGE OF ME CHOCKING SOMEONE I LOVED WITH ME CHOCKING A RUBBER CHICKEN! THAT THOUGHT IS JUST AS SILLY AND UNREALISTIC AS ME CHOCKING A REAL PERSON! GET CREATIVE, LAUGH AT YOURSELF! IT TAKES TIME, BUT GUYS I PROMISE THESE THINGS WORK! THIS PROGRAM WAS A WONDERFUL BLESSING TO MY LIFE AND I CANNOT TELL YOU HAW IT HELPED ME ALONG WITH OTHER THINGS, BUT THIS HELPED THE MOST! GOOD LUCK ON YOUR JOURNEY TO WELLNESS!
