Sorry, this maybe a little long. So I am pretty average. But i am always thinking too much. I have a million things going on in my mind and I don’t know how to control it. It’s like my world is constantly spinning. I don’t even have anything big going on, no drama, I’m just thinking a mile per minute. I start tho think of all the little bad things I ever did. It all comes rushing back and it’s like a trance. And it won’t go away. I can’t make it stop because it’s all there. Stuck in my mind like cement. I’m always on edge of breaking down, and I don’t know what to do. I don’t know if maybe I am just being over dramatic, that may be it as far as sleep goes I average 4-6 hours. I usually wake up from night mares every few hours.And as in bad things I guess my mistakes. But I usually think about when I was little (5 I think) my best friends mom yelled at me really loud in front of the entire school and I remember her grabbing my shoulders and shaking me around. I don’t even remember what I did.

I tend to have a lot of things on my mind all the time. I really never stop thinking while I’m conscious. So far as I can remember I’ve always been that way. I cannot read fiction because my mind wanders. I can read an entire chapter of a book while thinking of something else and not remember a thing I read. I can however read an entire textbook and remember quite a bit. I wouldn’t say it torments me like it seems to be tormenting you.

It may help to do something which requires a lot of focus… taking your mind off all other things but what you’re doing. Sports and Video Games come to mind. You could just as easy do a puzzle or a cross word I suppose. Try Sudoku!

Probably out of the question but you could try medication as well. Try and put all of your focus into just your breathing and hold that in thought for a while then try to think about nothing at all not even your breathing.

Wow, im the same way. Its like ADD but not. I hv allways tryed to just move past it by doing somthing while i think that dosnt take effort. (Play guitar,shower,draw,coloring books have magic powers a swear, even just taking 10 min a day and just stopping and trying to focus on one thought and work it out. Them move to the other. It took me a long time to be able to do it but it helps.
