In your mind, if something is distracting you, imagine that a policeman (or any adult for that matter) is standing in your mind and shouting loudly, "STOP!"

That works with me sometimes.

is it possible to have the subject of your speech changed?

I think her name is actually something "gothic".. I like it though, cause it sounds like something a black metal chick would make

there is nothing you can do! just obsess. it isnt a crime

I wish there was a button I could push to switch channels on obsessions

Antidepressants help often. Thy just make you happy enough to pay attention to thngs outiside yur hed, connect you with a world you might be missing out on.

Apparently, I've heard telling your mind "Be here now" gently works. However, whenever I try a new strategy, my brain gets used to it, and it stops working. So it's like I have to do all the running to stay in the same place.
