Thought suppression

2023-02-17 14:10:05
I am on medications like nexito and eliwell from 1 year. It all started because I was conscious about every thought and somehow used to suppress intrusive thoughts which led to increase in my anxiety. I am doing well now from past 2 months but have a question which troubles me always and i.e "is thought suppression and deviating mind from thinking irrelevant things both same?"
