TheDovic Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 I've been doing a lot of reading lately to help me stop thinking obsessively about my ex and have found a very interesting psychological technique which is REALLY helping me. Basically what you do is put an eye patch on your right eye when you find yourself freaking out. What this does is actually turns off the part of your brain associated with this kind of thinking, making it impossible to keep torturing yourself. This sounds crazy but is 100% true (and ridiculously simple). Keep the patch on for at least 20 mins and make sure to keep your right eye open underneath the patch. I've attached an article explaining this brilliant technique, so enjoy folks http://ezinearticles.com/?Eye-Patching-to-Stop-Negative-Thinking&id=760903

Just need to make a make shift eye patch. Any suggestions on how to?
Author TheDovic Posted November 8, 2011 Author Posted November 8, 2011 Me too, I can't stop thinking about her and it's been really annoying me, but this seems to work! Ps, to make an eye patch: http://www.ehow.com/how_4577669_pirate-eye-patch.html

Ps, to make an eye patch: http://www.ehow.com/how_4577669_pirate-eye-patch.html Thanks, I'll be making one. The relentless going over in my head of what happened I do is what really holds me back. It doesn't hurt anymore though which is good but it's still obsessing which is not healthy. Any progression to your story? I've been keeping track of it.
Bobby289 Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 you know where I can find a fashionable eye patch for work and school?
Buttercup84 Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 you know where I can find a fashionable eye patch for work and school? Haha . I work in a kindergarten so it won't be too weird for me . I bet we will look back at this one day and laugh , that we made an eyepatch because of our ex's . I am so doing this though.
ChelseaLS Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 You can find eye patches at any pharmacy including ones in grocery stores.
leoc1973 Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 does it work for both men and women? because I know that a man uses different parts of their brain for different things than a woman.
blacktambourine Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 holy crap. seriously going to try this one out.
Author TheDovic Posted November 8, 2011 Author Posted November 8, 2011 Hey guys, apparently if you wear it for 15 mins in the morning and same at night it will start to make changes. I personally go to the bathroom in work when I freak out and put it on! It's working for me so far so fingers crossed!!!
