As I have stated on her numerous times lately, I am obsessing thinking about my ex-wife with someone else. In the last couple days, anytime I think about her with her new guy, I just tell myself what a selfish bitch she is.

 

I just found this where you put an eye patch over your right eye to not obsess about a certain topic.

I'm not feeling particularly negative but I tried it anyway and my eyes went all wonky reading the computer screen with one eyeball.

sounds interesting! but do you really want to patch your eye?

I do not usually take any non-scientific study seriously, that is without a fully analyzed "treatment" and "control" subjects. But you can try it and let us know :)

check out 'tapping' to help balance emotions and reason, it's based on EMDR - Eye_movement_desensitization_and_reprocessing you can find info on wikipedia about EMDR, tapping is the training wheels version that you can do yourself, have tried it, worked for me, helps get me out of my head and back to being rational
