Monotropic thoughts?

sphynx

Hi everyone, 
I've struggled for years with constellations of persistent thoughts centred around particular topics. They're often unhealthy - for example when they're focused for weeeks around particular people I really care about who can and will never feel the same way about me. At times these thoughts stop me from focusing on other things that need my attention, because I can't shift my mind from its topic. Is this monotropism? I'm wondering if anyone here has found strategies that have helped with shifting the 'stuckness' of the thoughts? Thanks in advance for any ideas.

  • What I say now is paraphrased to sound funny, to show it that it can be presented in a funny way, but the fact is really serious and real:

    Melting own core to get through can be really volcanic style eruptive.

    You don't want to go for that 3rd possibility to banging your head against wall, it will lead to meltdown unless you start interrupting it, it isn't advised to let it run in endless loop
