at some point it becomes like a mental habit, and the more you start to cut down on the obsessive behaviors, the easier it gets. i find it useful to just tell myself “i don’t need to know that” or “i don’t need to do that” when i noticed myself checking, and redirect, and that was pretty helpful (once i already knew the obsession was harming me)

also it’s easier to add something else into ur life to distract than it is to force urself to not think about something. so like if u’ve been putting off starting a particular show or something similar, do it - sometimes finding a different outlet for the obsessive energy helps
