My best tips are to stay incredibly busy and work hard. If you are mentally and physically exhausted at the end of the day it will help you sleep. It's difficult to quit thinking about people or things. The act of trying not to makes one do it even more. Stay busy.... it does help, and it will get better day by day. I promise. :hug:

I take it from your past posts its probably a woman problem eh?
Well man. Women are evil. Pre-occupy yourself with sports. Hit on new women. And just take it easy.
I was feeling the same way you were for a while, and when i thought it was never gonna get any better, i met somebody. And i have been having a great time since then.
I guess if you just wait it out, good things will happen when you least expect it. So do something to get your mind off of this problem, and those good things (Women, yes women are things) will come.
Cheers

I like to go to the gym and get a good workout in. Always clears my mind and makes me feel better. Or sometimes I just hop in the car and drive around.

Take up a hobby like fixing computers or small engines. This takes your mind off whatever is bothering you and allows you to focus on the task at hand.

Working out is great too. In high school and college wrestling practice helped me focus on bettering myself and pushing the negatives aside.

Woman can drive you insane, but they are just like everything else in life after awhile the memories and pain start to fade and a whole new life unfolds.

Oh and good music to sleep too? Anything with a celtic rift to it (Bagpipes, drum, etc... all played softly mind you) ;)

Agree with most suggestions here so far.
Keeping busy and distracting yourself can be good.
Physical activity or straining work are great for dealing with anger especially.
One great way of dealing with cognitive distortions is actually to visualize a big stop sign, and actually tell yourself to stop thinking about it. Then carry on with your day.

But if it is something that is pressing on your mind, it may be best to address the problem head on.
Talk to someone you trust about it (could even be a counsellor or psychiatrist, in my case :)). Or journal your thoughts, whats going on, why it upsets you and what you think about it upsetting you.
You may tell yourself that its not worth it, or that you need to be angry or hurt for awhile. Whatever the case, be honest with yourself.

Of course, its important to say that all of this may work, and is completely situational and variant from person to person. I was just drawn to this post, cause it struck a chord.

Take care

Scott

if she hates you, do you honestly want to get back together with her?
or is she not worth it

cause you cant change her mind, but her actions can definitely make her less attractive as long as you let yourself be angry at her

night guys, take care

Hmmm, well, speaking from a girl's perspective, but that's just me, mabe you should try talking to her, apologizing for whatever you did to piss her off, and perhaps acting like a gentleman from now on...
Jeez, high school boys....*shakes head*

Well, most of you boys act like high school kids, unbeknownst to you. As for the girl, she probably has some stuff to sort out, maybe something is going on that you don't know about. Best thing would be to have a serious sit-down. Get all the stuff out on the table. See what the deal is.
