I can relate to this so much I could have written it. It is like the brain makes up these whole horrible movies and forced you to watch it over and over.

I haven't had any luck in totally disabling it. I'm only just getting started on trying to deal with these issues. It often helps to distract myself, so I watch lots of movies and funny tv shows (avoid things of a serious or graphic nature!) and also audibly telling myself "it's not real, it's just the anxiety, it's not real". Focussing on repeating this to myself can put a chip in the horrible scenes in my head and help me to focus on another thing.
