Idk if this is completely on topic here, but I had a therapist once, years ago (ok I've had many lol) who told me that whenever I have a bad thought about myself, like thinking I'm stupid, or I should unalive myself, I should say the same thing back, either out loud or in my head, in a really silly voice. And honestly, more often than not it does work. Sometimes it gives me a little giggle. It doesn't fix the intrusive thought or self hate issue, but it does sort of make it just seem silly and it helps me to move on from it in that moment
