How to get rid of bad thoughts at night?
For about 2 years or so, I would have nights where I would not go to sleep because my mind was preoccupied with bad thoughts, bad memories, or bad feelings. When I was a teen, I think I would mostly have a lot of bad memories come to my mind. Last year, I would have a lot of bad thoughts; a lot of thoughts about self-hatred, or how I messed up doing something in a social event (I have a bit of trouble socializing, but I'm still learning), arguments, bad friends, problems with myself, etc. This year, it has been more bad thoughts, but tonight, it feels more like a cloud of bad stuff. Not particularly bad thoughts or feelings, or memories - more like an aura that is kind of left there. I have a lot of trouble taking my focus away from those thoughts, and concentrating on something else. (watching videos/movies do not help remove the focus) Drawing did not help take it away after I was done drawing. Running (~2-3 miles) did not help either at all. I am tired of spending late nights trying to tone down how bad it feels, or how much pressure or stress it puts on me. I'm tired of wasting hours taking my mind off of it when I could use it for studying. Usually, I am unable to take it off my mind, until I wake up the next morning. I have trouble sleeping with it on my mind. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to stop these thoughts? If I do somehow block out these thoughts, do you think it would come back to me one day and hit me so hard that I would eventually develop some sort of psychological problem due to even bigger stress and pressure that would come with it? if it matters: -20 yrs old, junior standing at university, biochem major, good academic standing -no diagnosis of any psychological problems -used to cut when huge waves of bad thoughts came to me on a regular basis between June-October 2008, but eventually stopped cause (even though at first it was great because it somehow made me relieved, later) it wasn't helping at all, and it became a useless activity -still have a self-hatred towards myself since early teens Thanks. I'm sorry I am asking such a personal question... I only hope that someone who went through the same thing could give me some advice. This problem has been with me for a long time.

How to get rid of OCD thoughts?
The easiest way is to accept them, and accept that they are a distraction from what is really bothering you, whether it is anxiety or depression. When you start to have them, try and find humor in them, if you get the scary thoughts, add jokes into them, and reassure yourself that you would never do anything like that. Write down your thoughts on paper, and then write down a positive thought right after it. All of your thoughts do this with and them read over them out loud, and smile. I.E. If I don't throw this paper away I am going to have something bad happen to me would be the negative, and then the positive would be Of course I can throw it away, it is just a piece of paper. I am fine and I know nothing is going to happen to me if I throw it away, it is just paper. I am in control. Don't rule out medication, OCD is hard to deal with, especially if you get the scary thoughts. Try to work on it on your own, but if it is too much to deal with ask your doctor for what would be best for you. Managing OCD also comes with time, Just remember that nothing will hurt you
Ramadan: How can one get rid of bad thoughts???
السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته, Sis. Don't think that way. It is the whisper (waswasa) Shaitan is trying to give you. He is trying to mislead you. Thinking to much about religion will put doubt in your mind because you can't kill an idea. It will affect you and your work. Allah said,'' And if there comes to you from Satan an evil suggestion, then seek refuge in Allah . Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing.'' [41:36]. Just avoid these thoughts. Seek refuge and forgiveness from Allah. Recite A'uzubillah and Kalema (Shahadah). Seek true and accurate knowledge. Inshallah it will help. Regards.
How can you try to get rid of bad ideas and thoughts?
Dear Reader,There is the mind, and the mind has the ability to think. The question is not whether you are thinking or not.The question is, who is the thinker? If the thinker is devoted to the Truth, then thoughts are just like the dance of Shiva.Is the river of your thoughts pure enough to allure Shiva to dance in it? And Shiva will not dance in a stream impure.There is understanding without thought and there is understanding with thought as well. Just as there is Truth, formlessly, and there is Truth, formed as well.There will be occasions when the Truth will strike you like a thunderbolt, like a flash of lightning. And understanding will be complete in a split second. And there will be occasions when you will be required to think.But I understand your predicament. All the spiritual masters are treating thought as the worst offender. As if thought has brought in sickness and disease to your life. Not really. Thought is your expression, just as action is your expression. As you are, so your thought is. In fact, thought is so very helpful. You cannot look at your tendencies, your vrittis, directly. But thought is gross, palpable, definite, it can be watched.When you think, you come to know of yourself. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have known. The thought of jealousy or the thought of fear arises, it helps you know that deep within somewhere, you are? Afraid.Thought is not bad. ‘Useful’ or ‘Useless’ is the place, thought is coming from.The above article is from Acharya Prashant Ji.To know more about Acharya Prashant Ji Acharya Prashant (आचार्य प्रशान्त)You may have this great opportunity to meet Acharya Prashant Ji.Camps with Acharya JiThe upcoming camps are being organized fromGurugram : 20th - 21st OctoberKanpur : 26th - 29th OctoberChennai : 2nd - 4th NovemberFor Enquiry/Registration, Call:+91-8376055661#Glimpses of some camps:-
How do I get rid of bad thoughts about my girlfriend? I know that she won’t cheat on me. I am not possessive towards her. Sometimes when she spends time with her other friends, I feel jealous and some bad thoughts occur about her dumping me.
Some possessiveness is okay as then she knows that you do care about her. It is when your possessiveness starts to prevent her from doing the things she enjoys that resentment and doubt will set in. You each need your own time and your own hobbies, you cannot expect the other person to be your everything unless it is mutual. But you need a life outside the relationship because relationships never last forever. You need to be able to move on if the relationship does not work out or if your spouse passes away. You need to keep your individuality and a sense of self so that you can grow. Do everything you can for her and she will not dump you. Find out what her needs and passions are and support her in her endeavours. Give her freedom but also give her your love. You just may end up married someday. Women need and want emotional support, a life partner, trust and honesty. Be the best that you can be and she will not break up with you. If women are happy, they do not cheat.
