How do u distract yourself when you are obsessing over something?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Distraction: Listen to music, keep yourself busy. Surround yourself with supportive people. And if nothing works, train yourself to separate an hour a day ( not before bedtime ) and allow yourself to obsess as much as you want but then defer any obsessive thoughts during the day to that hour. Good luck.
