hi everyone,

for a while i've been dealing with obsessive negative thoughts which are generally triggered by reminders of certain girls that i've had issues with recently (i.e. they were mean to me/they dislike me and it makes me feel really bad about myself.)

lately what i have been trying to do in order to deal with this mental anguish is avoiding them completely whenever i can -- in particular not looking at their social media sites.

however it has been really really hard for me to resist the urge to look at their sites even though i know that looking at them will make me feel bad.

i'm so sick and tired of being so bothered by these people in my own head. if anyone has an idea of what might be causing this or what i could do to fix the problem i would really appreciate your insight!
