I feel trapped in my own mind

I cant stop my mind from going off on internal dialogs about people, who when i feel balanced and centered i feel indifferent and even happy and loving towards. I am being stretched really thin mentally and physically right now, its a whole long story about my living situation I'm about to be free from, but yeah anyways, i have been trying to just let them pass and focus on activity's and work a lot, i find myself having this stuff happen still and it starts to overwhelm me and i go into these like frustrated rage fits, i try breathing exercises, looking at open spaces, trying to counter balance the thoughts with nice thoughts which is really hard sometimes, i will just be so focused on whatever happened that makes the person come to mind, like i really just want to be sweet and kind and especially in my mind, i don't like wasting my time thinking thoughts like this.

  • That’s an excellent way to describe how it can feel Desmond. Hopefully we can eventually move to a nicer neighbourhood…..

    I’m really struggling at the moment too. I’m trying lots of techniques to try to feel less anxious but the things that usually help aren’t helping at the moment. Today I’ve been feeling completely overwhelmed by it all. I wish I had the answer to the problem of battling with your own thoughts - if I did I would share it with you (and everyone!). Can you access any therapy or counselling? Do you think that might help?
