Question:

So much going on in my life, too many thoughts, what to do??

by | earlier

I have so much going on in head that it feels like its going to explode. Its stuff I don't even feel comfortable talking to about with my best friend and I can't afford a therapist. Its mostly self-identity issues and realizations about the world and people. I journal, and it helps, but its not enough. Any suggestions??

its a phase. to get through it spend more time with loud, fun loving friends,and think less to relax and not get depressed. read instead of tv or watch comedy.

try meditating, it helps, especially if in water. i suggest setting up candles around ur bath tub and lighting them turning the lights off and meditating in the tub, just soothe yourself and try to work problems out in ur head 1 at a time and in no time you won't have as many problems. hope this helps

Make a box on a large sheet of paper and divide it into 4 smaller boxes. Label them Urgent/important, urgent/nonimportant, nonurgent/important, nonurgent/nonimportant. That can help you organize what in your life is really important at the moment and what you should think about.

Plus, try living outside of your head for some of the time. Living inside your head all the time can become confining.

i feel the same way a lot of times, my mind is constantly going, it never rests, i'm always thinking about stuff and a lot of stuff that i can't even share with anyone cuz no one would understand. i torture myself by replaying horrible memories that have happened to me in the past over and over again in my head. i'm always thinking about what the world is coming to, other people's lives, my own personal issues, where my life is going, just everything that i could possibly think of. i can't even write it in a journal, my hand would fall off. sometimes i wish i could have someone to talk to that would just listen and understand where i'm coming from. you're not alone!

Take a vacation dude, go to some place nice and peaceful and relax for some time and try to find solutions rather than thinking of problems. I wish you best of luck.

Get on a chat room - find some one you feel comfortable with and  let it all out to a stranger ! That way if you don't want to speak to them again - that's up to you, but at least you've gotten a bit off your chest. Then when the journal is not enough again go back and do it again.

Or maybe - speak to your doctor see if there is any  help groups in your area, and get some advise off him to why you can't shake this off or draw a line through it and move on. Some days the whole world sucks and so does everybody in it, but that feeling can not last forever or i would be at my doctors asap.

Your mind and body are bored.  The idle mind is the devil's workshop doesn't come from anywhere. It seems like you're perhaps in a transition from these "friends" but are having angst associate with the departure.  You're turning into a free thinking individual.  Go work out, get a hobby, or something to fill in those hours.  I would strongly avoid watching television with lots of drama and lots of commercials.  They are designed to make you ask yourself why you don't have all this stuff yet.

My advise is to go out and donate some of your time to people, join a church, give a friend a gift, because its not about what you don't have, its about giving to someone somehting they don't have and building and strengthening relationships.

That worked for me.  Pick core values and stick to them.

Don't dwell on your thoughts..

Partcipate in activities that don't allow you the freedom to not think so much....

Practice relaxing , and trying not to think..

This takes effort......But it will come with practice...

Even though your thoughts seem overwelming..With time and practice, you will learn how to control them..

Good Luck
