Abdul88, you have a lot of stress going on right now and you have every reason to feel

these ruminating thoughts going through your head being unable to focus.

Telling you to "take it easy" isn't helping because we are not in the same position as you.

I can understand your feelings. Your life right now is on hold. I can only hope for your sake that this issue is resolved as soon as possible. :) xx

Dear Abdul88, I have had such sufferings myself esp. since I have had schizophrenia my entire life. Most times when I have quick disjunctive and spurious thoughts I can in no way address them easily. But as I am trying to relate to you from the outside in, I realize that it may require you to remember first what may have triggered your thinking, second what were any latent stressors before then, third if there are any hidden meanings in your triggered situation... My sincere apologies if I may misunderstand your suffering with your flood of thoughts that were hitting you. Beyond my misunderstanding, if you can attempt a way to get a grip on a lot of your background suffering then are able to focus mentally and emotionally on what recently occurred, then maybe I hope you can grapple with what happened better. I myself am no superman at any of these kinds of cognitive manuvers but I hope my feable insight can help.

No, but what I have learned is that the most effective methods to treat erractic stressful racing thoughts is to, that is, after one can get an initial grip is to try alter ones thoughts by and by afterward using radical different methods. For instance Ive tried CBT or flooding my senses with all that I could hear, taste, smell, see and touch or feel. Another technique I used was to calm myself and breathe deeply as best I could and try to feel as immediately connected to what and where and who was around me. I also tried massaging my forehead , eyes and temples and then remerbering to myself to try to think in different ways and manners to push myself out of my box like thinking.

Try to take some time to do something you enjoy and just breathe. I know what it’s like to feel unable to take it easy and relax.
