Little tip for all others getting a 24/7 stream öd this trash: do not fight them, instead “dismiss” them. “This is a useless thought, Maybe later, I will think about it tomorrow, etc.” The more resistance and discipline you present, the stronger the next ones are. By dismissing them, you take their energy away and protect your own mental energy, as they are now super easy to get rid of. Don’t think hard mental discipline, let them come and dismiss them, it is still an active thing, but simpler and lower resistance, kind of like Zen meditation.
I’m a system and can confirm that any direct suppression is gonna go wrong. I have the benefit of actually being able to directly talk to those background thoughts’ origin points, and work things out from there instead of chaining the regions down. It’s how solving a lot of personality disorders works (mostly BPD in our case). It’s how we even turned a lot of those regions into forces for good.
Be kind to yourself–not just others.

Why should we want them gone? They’re fun!
Imagine being horrified of your own thoughts. They’re you. Just welcome them & delight in their wild machinations.
