I just think about how life is brief and meaningless and there's probably nothing on the other side, and that quiets down the negative thoughts.

You just have to distract yourself and avoid triggers as much as possible.

Negative thoughts and feelings are necessary parts of life too. I let them roam around freely inside me when they come. The best way to get rid of them in my experience is to let your inner beast howl all it wants, it will get tired sooner or later. You can't be negative for too long because it is physically impossible to endure for long periods of time.
Give in to your anger, sadness, rage, envy when they awaken. They are like burning pieces of wood, increase the heat on them and they will evaporate quickly. Then you can go back to enjoying whatever you did previously. Don't repress your feelings or negative thoughts, that isn't healthy in the long run and you will simply blow up one day emotionally.

>>190717Yes but I like having a functional penis. And since I came off them the first time, they stopped working so it's learning to cope.
Basically whenever I try to get into something, critical thoughts pop up saying I'm not doing it good enough
>You should know this by now>Fuck man, that's the third thing you've forgotten todayI can't stop these thoughts in the tracks and it's really getting atop of me.

coffee and vitamin d seem to work for me

>>190723Yeah, but that works unless it's pathological. If something bad happens, it's normal you react to it with sadness or anger, no use bottling it up. But if you have the same negative thoughts day after day, then it's something this strategy won't help with.

>>190765If you experience heavy negative feelings for days then you will change something, trust me. Either the way you think or you will do something different or try to occupy yourself.
People who are depressed for years go on this long because they don't let their emotions out fully. There is no catharsis and they can never get back to enjoying life.

>>190710I have struggeled a lot with ocd and intrusive thoughts that made me suicidal. The best way is to take ssri's, for me personally they helped significant, because i had alrready covered myself why those thoughts were irrational. Also I played a shit ton of hard video games like dark souls to keep my mind occupied
