Obsessing

Hello everyone, I have found, especially as I get older that I cannot stop obsessing over things. This is mostly always something in “my world “ rather than the wider world as it were but I cannot stop turning it over and over in my head. A lot of the time it is over my health particularly as my mother suffers from motor neurone disease. How do I stop this constant cycle of obsessive thoughts which stop me sleeping or having free and light headed thoughts to enjoy my day. Thank you everyone

One tip a doctor gave me which I find helpful is to, when an unwanted thought appears, picture a road sign with red circle round it and the word STOP in large letters. At the same time say STOP firmly in your mind. I find it helpful.
