Can't take anymore

Purplemoon2008

I' have been  stuck  looping  over a conversation  that' I had with someone recently . The looping over this has been going on for the past 4 days I cant stop and I feel exhausted and suicidal I just can't carry on like this my brain will just not give me a rest. This isn't the first time I've been stuck like this once it went on for a year over a stressful situation. I literally feel like I'm loosing my mind .

  • If you can visualise easily, try this, imagine yourself in your very own cinema complete with sound, in front of you is a control board that controls whats on the screen in front tof you and the sound effects. There's a stop button for sound and one for visuals and an eject button, press the stop button, the the eject button, pick up the CD, tape, vinyl (whatever) and carry it to a door on your left, through this door is a furnace, drop the CD into the furnace and watch it burn. Come back out of the furnace room and pick something else to listen too. If you need to get rid of a visual, then press the stop visual button and then the one marked ROLL, this will roll up the screen image and you can go and unhook it, squish it up and stuff that in the furnace too. Theres also select buttons for both visuals and sound, so you can choose something else to play from memory.

    It does take a bit of practice but I find this helps me, although not always with earworms, but I think the mental concentration of doing different mental tasks in your mind helps to break these doom loops.
