Traffic jam thoughts

Luna

I'm not sure how to explain my thoughts I'll try my best but please forgive me if this doesn't sound right I'm not good at explaining stuff. My thoughts can sometimes be like a gentle wind just passing Two heartsthrough my head. Other times they can buzzing. Sometimes they fly through so fast they are gone before I really know what they were but I still feel the negativity from them. Right now I got the traffic jam thoughts for me this is like they are cars on a motorway and nothing is moving. The thoughts are there and they stay put no way out until everything starts to move again. This is frustrating when it gets like this. I try to do things distract myself but it don't really work they still stay put and it drags me down. My instant urge when it gets like this is to cut, don't know why it just hTwo heartselps in a way all that tension elevates but I only just got home from a mental health unit and it was horrible so I don't want to go back. I hate when thoughts don't move Two heartsI wish I had more control of my mind and could choose when thoughts come, how long and what kind of thoughts. Generally all mine are negative and anxiety related. Wish I could change that I really do. I have thought of going to a service for help with my autism you know like the nas as they don't seem to focus entirely on mental health like most other services do. I still haven't decided yet. I can't really think or process when my head is like this. Just got to wait for the traffic to move on...

    Hello . Thank you for your support and help with this. I'm ok, sorry if I sounded like I wasn't I didn't mean for it to come across that way. I'm not always clear.

    I have my MH team number if things get too bad but that's a last resort only thing for me. They don't get the asd that well.

    Thanks for the link though! Looks like there's some helpful suggestions on there so I'm sure that can only help me.

    Thanks Chloe.
