Ok, this is a problem I've had for a really long time. My whole life actually. It may not seem like much, but it's a really big issue for me. I think waaaaaay too much. All day and all night. Even if I'm listening to music or watching t.v., something always sparks me to think, think, think. Even as I type this I'm constantly thinking. Way more than I should be. I sacrifice socializing with the people around me, to socialize with myself in my head. Everything seems so strained and forced with me. I try to stop thinking so much, but that only leads to me thinking of a way to stop thinking. It's like some never ending loop of hell. What are some things you blades do to just chill out and relax? A lot of you probably smoke to chill out, but smoking only makes me think even more. Anything else out there worth trying?
im the same way its not a bad thing, but you sound miserable with this, smoking of course but you said it makes you think more. The only thing that really came to mind was xanax but if your looking for all natural idk, what are you thinking of all the time??
Yo dude i have the same problem I HAVE TO THINK Even when people talk to me like my mom or dad Im like be quiet real quick im thinking.. I think it has something to do with my OCD Do you have OCD?
I believe that you should think about this... "To be or not to be that is the question." I also believe until you find the answer to that question you will always think. So being a nice person I will share what I believe to be the answer... "Just be". To me you may have a problem with finding your purpose or fulfilling a goal that you have set on a subconscious level. If you dig deep and pick at your scabs all the time then maybe you are seeking your destiny in life and are worried you won't find it. So you have created a process in your brain that's job is to think until you find the answer. However with all that thinking you have forgot the question that was asked. So again I will say, "To be or not to be" is the question and the answer is just be you and be the best you that you can be! When you are just you it is as if being satisfied that you are a shining star who is very bright. Not because you want to impress anyone with your glow or light the way like a superhero. Instead you are just a shining star who's going to shine until it's your time to supernova. Then you will find peace. Hope this helps you when you think about it. -NNY
All types of shit. IDK I just tend to stress myself about everything. One thought leads to another and then I just end up losing track of time because i've been thinking about a million things. I have no idea. I need to get to a doctor or something
If its really bad, you might have an actual medical condition. I think alot when im stressed out, bills, family, girls, life.. If its keeping you up bro go to a doctor
Sometimes it helps me to bang my head against the wall a few times. Head pain really causes you to stop thinking about everything in the world and just start thinking "ouch." From there everything just kind of flows out you know? Also, I like beer and ecstasy. Those are cool and helpful too.
Man, this is definitely a subject I think about a lot. Then I wonder If I even have a destiny. Then that leads to other things. IDK I guess I worry about other peoples thoughts and feelings too much too. I need to get comfortable with being me. Thanks for posting man. Really helped a lot.
meditate, listen to classical music, like Mozart that's what i do i have ADHD so i probably think a lot faster than most of you unless you have it as well
Yea, I think I might do that. Thanks Ha ha ha that was helpful Possibly. I think I saw a thread on meditation in the spirituality section. Gonna have to stop through and check that out. Thanks
I believe you want to look for someone who specializes in cognitive behavior therapy. They deal with the habitual nature of the mind and offer ways to re-train your brain. They maybe able to help you understand your thinking behavior. I will warn you though, it's hard to find the right one that can communicate with you on the same level, you may have to try different counselors until you find one that works for you. -NNY
If you want to seek help for it, don't go to a psychiatrist or doctor who will just script you pills and send you on your way. See a therapist/psychologist (same thing) who will help you figure out why it's happening and ways to deal with it. edit: what nnydanger said is very true. If you see someone and they aren't really helping, don't give up... it may take a few different people to find one that works for you.
Start reading as much as you can so your thoughts will be more advanced... there are bound to be some goods ones in there more frequently as you nourish your head unit.
Thanks man. Gonna start looking into some places Yea, I think that would be better. I don't need more drugs in my life. I think I'm gonna go on another break from weed. Clear my mind a little. Thanks man Yea, I could do more reading I guess. I already read lots, but I guess I could find better sources or something. Thanks man
eh its probably crowded with all this new age stuff, i would just look it up online. you are searching for peace of mind yes? the simplest form of meditation would help you loads in this case- i speak this from experience although i may have gone a bit more overboard than you, for me it got to the point where not only was i not sleeping because i thought it was a waste of time but i questioned literally everything, for ex i dropped a pencil over and over and over and over just to find out for myself in this whole gravity thing is on the up and up
Thinkings awesome tho bro Just try to find out if you have OCD? Do you things have to be perfect IE : I used to always pull my sheets down on my bed like every 30 mins it would give me trouble sleeping Therefor i smoke weed before sleep haha
Yea I question just about everything. Never went all the way to the gravity thing tho. Thanks man. To google I go! Yea, I have to have a lot of things perfect. Shit just bugs me ha ha. Not everything tho. Now that I think about it, I do this a lot actually. I like thinking. This is just getting out of hand tho. I really Think, think, think about everything. It's really a problem for me. It's too much
hopefully this works but heres some good info that helped me, provides some good steps some meditation methods
