I have just realised something I didn't want to realise. I would now like to unrealise it quickly, please, so that I can remain in denial a bit longer.
Does anybody have any good ways of stopping oneself thinking?
Depends what sort of things you want to stop thinking.
I can stop thinking about things I need to do, by coming up with some plan for dealing with them which can often just be doing it later, then distracting myself.
I can stop thinking about or remembering things, if I lie down and close my eyes and just kick the thoughts away when they come, until I fall asleep.
I can sometimes stop thinking about things I didn't want to realise, by clinging on to some unlikely indication otherwise.

That's the one. :-/ I've sort of tried that, but there's only so long you can keep picking at crumbs before you get too hungry to keep pretending that crumbs are enough.
Are you absolutely sure?
That I want to carry on being in denial? Definitely. Reality is overrated.
