Is it normal to think about something, and then your like Oh my god i cant believe I thought that! And then I try to forget that I thought whatever it was I thought but it keeps popping up in my head. And when I do finally forget about the whole thing, I think wait what was I trying to forget again? And then I remember again! Does this happen to anybody else? Thank you!

    What you need to do is not, not try to think about it. When someone tells you don't imagine a polar bear, most automatically do. Distract yourself with... Bunnies or something.

    Tolstoy's brother would torture him when he was small by making him stand in a corner while telling him NOT to think of a white bear...oh, screw it.
