How can someone NOT think all the time? Since I have never been this way, it's baffling to me.


See my post (link below) in a related thread posted by someone on the same day. I am just now getting off the meds and there are a few tips listed there... at least what seems to help me.

It does, but sometimes I pray it would stop for awhile, like when I'm trying to sleep or if I am thinking about my one great fear in life and it won't frickin' stop. However, music works wonders on my brain and it helps soothe the maelstrom in my mind.

The only time my thinking ever shuts down is when I get overstressed and have a shutdown! My brain is totally quiet only then... :?:

Yup. My brain has no off button. Even when I'm sleeping I'm still deep in thoughts. The only way to prevent that would be a lack of a power source, in this case, that's oxygen, but I'm not sure I want to go there. :wink:
