It's not dumb. I've struggled with this before and sometimes still do. I try to catch myself when the temptation hits and ask myself whether I really want to do this because I know it will make me feel worse.

I try to avoid temptations now, which is both whatever triggers me but also whatever I'm doing that might lead to temptation. For example, I've previously (and sometimes still do) struggle with health anxiety. If I notice something about me or someone else and I'm on my laptop, it's very easy for me to start looking things up online. So I try to get off my laptop and do something to take my mind off it. This is similar to if I start looking things up online, trying to analyse my life, but then I take other people's opinions personally, I know I'll end up doubting myself and feeling upset. So I try and do something else, other than looking stuff up online, as I know it'll just make me feel worse. It's hard because the temptation can be strong at times but I just remind myself that I'll feel worse if I follow through with it.
