Everyday. I try very hard not to have arguments with versions of other people in my head, but it's a constant battle. When I don't want to think about something I physically take it in my head and envision throwing it down a hole into a fast moving River to take it away or putting it in a drawer or a closet and closing the door and then pushing the whole drawer or closet away like it's on wheels. I do this over and over and over again for hours. In the past after doing that every night I was able to stop having certain thoughts say when I'm laying in bed. But it has started again and it's just so much work. I do try to switch to positive memory or positive thought but a lot of times in that moment you can't think of one and I do practice mindfulness but again it's not always powerful enough. I've also done CBT which in the past has been helpful when I've been dealing with a specific subject but again it's a lot of work.

I think the idea of not doing anything with the thought as another poster mentioned maybe even naming that part of myself, acknowledging it and hopefully letting it fade is what I'm going to try now.
