Some of u may know me already for me misinterpreted issues because I was still figuring out what the hell my stupid problem is.
I went off this site for some months because I would feel perfectly fine at times but the problem woould be in my head.I think about the past incidient everyday:the day when i panickly realized that i couldnt concentrate on my studies because I felt my thoughts went out of control.Ever since that day Ive been lost..........just one thought..and my whole life ruine..wat a curse from god ive been givenIm mad because my exams are nearing and for past 2 years,I think about the same incident everyday,its not letting me study!!I make a new solution everyday but the engery is so overwhelming that i cant bear it.ITS ' obsessive doubts ',ive searched it and no way in hell am i gonna let this ruin my A-LEVEL exams in june.

this stupid prob is so hilarious sometimes that it led me to get 1700 in SAT,and BCC in AS level,if only this stupid thought didnt have to occur everytime i open a book,I woiuld hv vbeen perfecrly all right now!!

Pls dont tell me stuff like see a doc,or u hv issues,it makes me lessen my hope for normality,tell me some tips for short term that could atleast just let me study!!

I know i sound crazy but it wz the only wayyy

this sounds so simple, but I think you already have figured out the issue.. Now it is a matter of calming that internal voice by listening to some soothing music, meditating, exercising, taking a walk, etc. i think you can overcome this without the help of professionals if you want to do it. Go get 'em!

Experts at creating "jingles" for advertisements have to get tunes out of their head all the time :-) and they say there's really only two ways; either substitute another song or play the song through to the end and give it closure.

Do the same with the thought, take it to it's logical conclusion or keep replacing it with another thought; maybe think about what you'll have for dinner or breakfast in the morning, etc. or read and wonder something about what you're reading. The mind can only think of one thing at once and will eventually give up if you keep bringing it back to a "new" thought rather than the disturbing one. I would also try "agreeing" with the thought. If you agree with argumentative people in some way, "you may be right" or "I see what you mean" they have nowhere to go with the argument and it ceases. Do the same with the thought, have a pleasant conversation with it, tell it how much you've enjoyed having it, give it your full attention and it will have to "give up" the space.

Not thing about it would seem to be a good solution. Good luck.
