      Hi there, and welcome to the forums.  Yep… Just like an old fashioned slide projector show. I got back to my infant school days, and I am in my sixties now… I ended up jamming the runaway engine of thoughts..  figuratively speaking… spanner in the works kind of. I didn’t reason with, resolve it. I just made it stay there, still… Ultimately, it stopped, and I came back in the room, so to speak. Resolving the thoughts is the same as seeking reassurance… We just end up asking for more, and then more again, as each frightening forgotten thought comes forward to replace the first thought… Jam it… Make the thoughts stay still… It takes a few goes,  but it can and does indeed get easier.  Let’s all have a less worrying Christmas…
