I've noticed myself binging KZfaq to get away from my own thoughts. Anything to distract yourself

@@mack-attack-420 Only if thought rumination becomes too much consulting a psychologist may be needed. Your breath is directly related to your mind [brain] causing anxiety-stress. For a relaxed life without anxiety-negative thoughts sit on a chair, back erect, hands on lap with palms upwards, eyes closed, be still and observe your natural incoming--outgoing breath for around 10-15 minutes. Be as still as possible. Many thoughts will come which is ok--slowly negative thoughts will reduce and your mind will relax. During your daily activity keep observing your breath consciously. Best part is mood swings also reduce. Do the above meditation daily to feel relaxed.

@@shyaaammeneen63 funny you should mention this now, just today I've been noticing my breath more and allowing it to calm me down. Its helped me become happier and calmer. I'll give the video you mentioned a try, thanks. Have a good day

@@mack-attack-420 The affirmations at night before sleep will also help you a lot because the subconscious mind is reprogrammed for relaxation. I listen to them every night for 10 minutes. Take up challenges in life. God is there with you. Best wishes. Shyaaam Sir-Counsellor.

story of my life

Omg yes, I just found this and I feel soooo validated. I thought I was waiting time by playing a games for few mins. I got the green card from this video 😁

Someone could say something in such a harsh and cruel manner and it just goes around and round in my head for so long, I have some of them in my head right now and I don’t even think they’ll go away..it’s terrifying

I feel you bro going through something similar rn 😢

@@ivanfugazi5779 Man, definitely seek some help. here are therapists who specifically help and also a thing I discovered is my gut had been destroyed by stress, which has led to a good portion of my depression, anxiety and paranoia. I would advise you to find out if you have issues with your gut/intestine. I had to go for a colonoscopy, and endoscopy and they found I have a chronic issue. There's so much info coming to now about the link between your gut and your brain. Remember the old sayings, trust your gut, or I have a gut feeling. It's literally all connected. I hope this helps 🙏

Having been a single parent since 21 years old, for me & this is just how my story goes, but I experienced very similar feelings for a good few years. At 23, I found myself in dire straights so entered a therapeutic center to beg for help! I knew I couldn't cure myself in a vacuum! So, as a kid growing up, I was moved around frequently, so... having a kid I was in charge of I felt it might be just as damaging to him if he too was frequently uprooted. If I could do that to him, what was I running from? There may be several things at play within your experiences, & I think you did a pretty good job describing how you experience your cycles. In my now 64 years, I've gotten myself diagnosed D.I.D. twice in my adult life and doing all I can to improve things in my life and recovery. I've been extremely unhappy in recent years & reverted to some old behaviours & being self destructive, or habitual with KZfaq and internet. Now? I'm choosing to learn better self-love actions, meditation/s, going for walks, but I referred to meditation because with those I'm attracted to, are where I've to focus, sit with me and how I feel, focussing on trying to relax beginning with 10 minuets to begin with & as time goes by, for longer periods of time. I wish you well on your journey of discovery. (Edit), just reread your post. My nickname with my work colleagues when I was 17 years old was, 'the wanderer'!!

@Dawg Home I appreciate your comment. I’ll start with ten minutes today. I think part of my problem is the knowledge that there are thousands of different lives I could live in thousands of different places. So when I find myself in one of them, I feel I’m missing out and I want to experience the others. Also maybe I’m addicted to the feeling of being in transition or maybe I am just running from things. Hoping some day I’ll figure it out

@@Dawghome In life there are 2 main problems--mind and the body. . For overthinking problem be careful what you feed your mind. Avoid comparing yourself with others, reduce watching negative social media and avoid constipation as it affects the mind instantly. Your breathing is related to the brain [mind] and gives relief from stress-anxiety. For a relaxed mind observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath sensations at the entrance of the nostrils for 5-10-15 minutes or more. You can sit or lay down on the bed--eyes closed--No deep breathing. Don’t fight your thoughts. With practice the mind will relax. Never meditate with expectations but with self-awareness. Observe your breath anywhere -anytime-- before sleep, when travelling, taking a walk, etc with eyes open or closed. Like me make breath observing a lifetime habit to have a better life. Best wishes--Counsellor.

@@Dawghome I am a follower of Jesus Christ. I would recommend giving your life over to God and asking the Holy Spirit to enter your heart and accepting Jesus Christ as God and God’s Son. Then ask God to guide you with how you can best serve Him. I found this is best found in helping others. Ask God to lead you and then the focus will be off of you and put in His Hands. Also look for some great Christian pastors and speakers online to help guide you, and find a good Church as well. I think in living without a purpose is where we get to aimlessly wandering. God created us in His Image to Glorify Him. I pray for God to help you and help lead you in Jesus’s Holy Name, Amen! 🙏💖

pray the rosary..

@Sobnom Mostari Good idea

@Sobnom Mostari Excellent! Thank you

Try journaling, and continue watching helpful videos on youtube about self therapy, I’m struggling with this too and it’s helping me to do this. Mainly I think it is a bad mental habit! And you must work to be more aware and to break the habit of negative overthinking. Goodluck! 🤍

What type of thoughts you have while you are in ruminating phase

Your comments are more helpful than the video.

I understand completely. I’ve tried medication and got some relief but what he is saying distract yourself as soon as it starts. I’ve told myself “stop” aloud. It’s all easier said than done but it takes time. I hope you are doing better. I’m with you in spirit.
