fascinating! I was just reflecting on how I came to develop being so sensitive tummy wise.
I can replay a competely trivial event in my mind over and over, like one time in the supermarket the checker said something snide and now I cant even remember exactly but I am still peeved about it.
I just read in another forum about replacing thoughts we don't want
>>>>>
Like a river, our mental energy is always flowing and needs to constantly 'decide' where to flow. In other words, we need to know what to do, not what to not do. The classic "Don't think of a pink elephant" creates an image in the mind of a pick elephant because the mind has no choice. Once we create an alternative route for our thinking, our mind will take it - for example, we might
decide, "Okay, I'll think of a black dog instead." Link those two together until the neural pattern is fixed and
every time somebody says, "Don't think of a pink elephant", you'll think of a black dog. Not a pink elephant.

I have been doing this for years that every time I think evil violent thoughts about the horrific demise of my husband or kitten, I just start saying Cancel Cancel Cancel over until I forget about it and it usually works.
Also I was a synchro swimmer and we did underwater laps. And I NEVER wanted to know how many strokes it would take so I would push myself and not wimp out and come up for air. So I have to start counting really fast by 2s or 3s or backwards still today to distract me from the real count! (I haven't quite worked back up to the 2 lap/1 breath underwater I could do 20 years ago, but I get about 1 1/3)
I only mind loud people if I am trying to relax, like in the sauna, and I am 98% extrovert so I usually speak up if possible.
I make a point to avoid violent movies and TV shows.
add stupid shows too! I only watch the Simpsons Spongebob & Whos Line I avoid violent stupid movies but smart ones are OK like Pulp Fiction, Matrix, Lock Stock 2 Smoking Barrels
and a so called friend called me fussy once and I can never think of her without thinking that is what she always thinks about me, and I haven't called her in weeks
I hope you all like my post. I might cry if ya don't.
