ill think of something i REALLY dont wanna say in my head, i try so hard to not say it
and am just like AHH noo but i still do it,
like if im terrified of something, ill wish it was here, even though i DONT want it here, and afterwards i get really scared and then wish it doesnt happen.
the same happens with pictures in my head, ill imagine things i REALLY dont want too
and cant block it out for ages

it really bothers and upsets me i dont no what to do :/

    when im trying to fall asleep, songs pop into my head and i cant stop thinking about them, even though i really dont want to hear them. I think this is some-what normal with a few people.

    I don't think you should "control" your thoughts at all. They are what make you, you. Instead, go with them, see where they lead, and think about what they mean.

    Everyone goes through that, my mind constantly drifts off to disturbing things when I dont want it to. It sucks, but you learn to deal with it.

    This does happen to me an awful lot (except for the saying what you want in your thoughts part, because saying stuff in your head won't make anyone else offended). Sometimes, if I'm trying to picture a scene in my head with people, the people keep spinning around (if you know what I mean) and I can't stop it. The only way I can is if I "tell" my mind to pour instant-dry cement on their feet so they can stop. And about the disturbing thoughts, that's quite common too.
