I had been experiencing many intrusive thoughts and bad anxiety. What helped me to get it more under control was a specific type of mindfulness (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6p_yaNFSYao&t=365s). It helped me to realize my thoughts are simply thoughts and they can be very misleading making us believe things that are not true or narrowing our focus on negativity. This leads to another tool I used: I started using the ABC(D) method for monitoring my thoughts and their impact on me and then changing them to be more objective.
