I imagine they can implement the incredibly unhelpful advice I’ve received so many times.

“Just don’t think about it.” Whatever “it” is at the moment.

Neurotypical people seem to have the ability to just stop thinking about stuff when they want and let their brain rest.

You nailed it.

Having a thought you don't want to think about and being able to stop thinking about it sums it up pretty well.

This is the thing that getting a prescription to Buproprin has helped me with the most. Seems like it would be small but it's life-changing.

Yeah being able to control your thinking is a boon that NTs really take for granted.
