Having intrusive thoughts again and idk what to do, I don’t want to try seeing a therapist again, they’ve never worked for me before and the thought of therapist shopping again just gives me more anxiety I just want these thoughts out of my head 😖

(2/2) by distraction I mean trying to forcibly cut off the thought as it happens by redirecting focus on a different thought, visual/physical stimuli or another one that helps me is (if you can excuse yourself wherever you are) I run my face under cold water or hold my breath
