Hey guys, i want to ask how do i get rid of bad thought or something that make me think too hard?

[Sparta]

One day,it just emerges suddenly on my mind, and i can't think of ways to get rid of it..the bad thought about how i thought of my friend and vice versa,then it went to make me think like are they my friend or im their friend? eventhough i already say in my minds that they are my friends...my minds just like are you sure?you're not saying that just to make me disappear?..and then it make me doubt about the word 'friends' and it make me think alot like feeling grateful at them or i should cut my ties with them. its like the mind want to make me antisocial.. and now it make me thinks about this word..'help'.. like,example..hey can you help me download this movie or game...later i take it...and now i think i should not ask for his help anymore and then..say he show me a website he download the movie or anime..like anime.com and i start downloading there too,now it make me think to change the website where im downloading it so it looks i dont need to feel grateful..something like that... and i know how these bad thought just pop up on my mind..its because of my ps4.(i will get to that)

Last year i won ps4 by lucky draw at an event that i went to..To enter,i need to like their games fb that their are showing there(total games=9) and collect their cards(total 26)..doest matter if you want to collect half or all of the card as long you have cards and so i did. and i thought better to collect it all to guarantee my winning.. on the last card they say i need to invite 5 friend on fb to like their group on facebook and i did..and then later, i found out that the card doesnt matter as long you already like their games fb then you're name already submitted on the lucky draw..so this one guy told me to think of it as card collection..and then later i won it (and the guy that annouce who the winner is) ask to see my card..maybe he want to see if im excited enough to collect all the card to win the ps4.. or i dont know.. and then enter the new year(2014) and a few days have passed,then my mind suddenly began thinking a thought which is (should i feel like because i invited my friend to like their facebook that i able to won it or should i feel grateful to them?its doesn't matter right?)(<--hope you guys can help me anwer this) and then it went to thinking..(which i stated in the first paragraph) and all..

I tried to not think of that thought but it's no use..my mind wouldn't let it disappear..and when i think like ''it's okay,dont think of that thought anymore' and then my mind would be like ''but you should feel bad about it because how could you thought about it'.. how i do keep myself from thinking like that or how do i stop my crazy mind from thinking like that?..everytime i think like i can't wait to play my ps4(i dont have the slim tv and i saving up money to buy it) then my mind would be like..remember that thought before? now you cant enjoy it.. im really excited because before this i only have ps2 so i just want to play peacefully with ps4 without any negativity thought until i buy the tv.. so any idea guys ? (and sorry for the bad english and long post.)

Nearly everyone has negative thoughts sometimes. Negative thoughts often occur before negative emotions*. It's important to regularly monitor, and deal with a negative internal monologue (self talk), or mental process, such as disturbing thoughts, images, impulses, etc., by the process of (a): recognising it, and (b): challenging it immediately. Use the "Technique For Re-Programming Negative Thoughts" - When you notice something negative, such as: "I can't do this/ am never going to get over this!" or: "Why am I always so useless/such a loser?" or even an image, emotion, or a memory; recognise that it is being generated from the negative part of your mind.

After identifying and labelling it, visualise a large, red, flashing, "STOP!" sign, and/or possibly a stern faced person wagging an index finger at you in a negative manner, then say to yourself as forcefully as you can, even aloud in a big voice, if alone: "I know this tactic: GO AWAY FOR A WHILE !!!" You may want to use either: "ruse", "ploy", "game", or "trick". In the case of an image, visualise a large "STOP" sign, or your preferred version.

Some people go so far as to keep a wide rubber band in their pocket, then put it around their wrist, when they catch themselves backsliding, stretch and release it, as a method of reprogramming their mind sooner, but I don't regard it as being strictly necessary. Remember to remove it, afterwards, if you use this method. Try replacing a negative thought with a positive affirmation of your choice, like: "I am a unique individual, with my own set of skills, and good points", or "I may not be perfect, but I'm doing the best I can, right now", or "I choose to be more positive". I prefer: "Focus only on what to do now/next".

"Even if we have some vague idea that we are not our feelings or our thoughts, when we are experiencing painful feelings or painful thoughts, we believe we have to feel them or think them just because of the fact that they are occurring to us. But painful feelings can be indirectly controlled by physical action, and changing our present thoughts for different thoughts (since feeling occurs as a result of thinking.) Painful thoughts can be directly controlled by choosing replacement thoughts for the ones that are troubling us. Sure, it takes some practice to change a long habit of suffering. But it can be done. Of course it can't be done if we choose to believe that it can't be done. But, since the choice is ours, why not choose to believe it can be done, and do it?"

Hypnosis is merely a heightened state of suggestibility, in which you are better able to communicate with your subconscious mind; view http://myfavoriteinterests.com/hypnosis/ about what it is, and isn't. 85% of people are suggestible to some degree; 15% - 20% highly so, and 15% - 20% aren't much at all, so you could either preferably seek professional hypnotherapy, or, if not an option, hypnosisdownloads.com has one about stopping negative thoughts.
