Where do obsessive thoughts come from?
It is not yet possible to give an exact answer to this question. Some psychologists are sure that the overload of the brain is to blame for everything, others blame the inexplicable processes taking place in our subconscious, while others are sure that the whole thing is in a disturbed psyche. 
In fact, our brain in the modern world is constantly loaded with a large amount of information, we are constantly forced to solve a large number of different problems, which can cause overload and constant stress. And at night, such a person's imagination comes into play, painting depressing pictures. As a result, instead of resting overnight, his condition only gets worse. Therefore, one and the same bad thought can revolve in the head for weeks, or even months.
Usually calm down playing out imagination on its own is not possible. The help of a professional psychologist is needed here. But it is not always possible to do this. Few people dare to entrust their innermost experiences to a stranger.

Constant fears are very difficult to eliminate on your own. Life in this state is like a constant struggle for existence. And it is extremely problematic to eliminate this condition on your own. In this case, the help of relatives and friends can provide great support. You can use the advice of psychologists for this and work independently on psychotherapeutic practices.
Correction of the negative state of a person should take into account the individual state of each individual. This practice can be done in a group or individually. The following practices are used for therapy:
- Adoption. You should not try to distract the brain from the obsessive thought. This will only make your situation worse. Better to accept this idea. This will help reduce anxiety and get on the path of conquering your fears.
- Write down all your thoughts. In this way, you throw out all the inner negativity on paper and you will feel lighter. You can share your thoughts with loved ones if they (thoughts) are not too scary.
- Some joyful event or image helps to remove negative thoughts. Imagine the event down to the smallest detail to overpower the bad imagery.
