sometimes i wish my head would stop (RANT)

Post Reply New Topic

meaning i wish i could flip a switch and turn off my thinking process....over and over and over in my head it says....tugging at the strings of my heart....noone else cares, but me...
glance it once over and let it be.....if i could adopt that mantra i would have years ago...

i guess im seeking a quiet place where i can be and not be anything i expect anyone to want of me...i have these impulsive thoughts and a nervous shake that hasnt seemed to go away in a couple of days....am i nearing a breakdown i think quietly to myself.....
patiently awaiting the paint to peel instead of skin i sit and wait it out...gonna wait it out..
god sometimes i just wish it to stop....to go 5 minutes without critical thought

Yes... It would be so nice if we could regulate the activity level of our brains a bit better. It does help me a lot, be it temporarily, to focus on something that requires observation rather than thinking. For instance, there is a large body of water behind our apartment, and it is very calming for me to look into that water and realize and visualize, as strongly and fully as possible, how deep, large and massive it is. No thinking, just seeing, with my eyes and with my mind. This gives instant tranquillity, and a sense of space instead of narrow circles. It also helps to draw, or make pictures, or look around for things to make drawings or pictures of.

I never knew most people can actually turn off their thoughts and have a completely idle mind. I don't think my mind has been idle since I was born.. What I do is read or listen to music and that keeps the repetitive thoughts out of my head temporarily.

I have this problem bigtime! I watch my cats. Or I watch a movie. Or I try and do my deep pressure with blankets. I wrap them around me and it is just amazing I relax and all the cares in the world go away. It is awesome that such a simple thing rests my aspie mind like nothing else.
Ohh yah I almost forgot I also love to Rock back and forth while I talk on WP

I wish that I could get my head to stop doing that, too. I have all these thoughts running through my brain all the time, and it's all unrelated stuff as well. It gets to be very annoying when I get into bed around eleven, each night. I'll be thinking about one thing, and than I'll be thinking about something completely different and that happens at least five times, before I finally get to sleep.

I wish I could stop doing that at night, so I can sleep better.

i guess thats when being an insomniac can be a good thing....i took sleeping pills for about 6 months but had to get off of them due to the fact they were addictive....
now that i work a night job i dont have as many troubles with them, its just sometimes i want to relax or need to focus and my mind goes ape s&$t on me..thinking about all the could of beens and should haves and things i havent finished yet...etc

i dont think it would be a stretch to say that alcohol and medication would seemingly run prevelant with this kind of problem...i am trying to stay away, but sometimes i give in

I feel exactly the same at the moment. My brain just never stops and I go over the same things over and over without reaching any conclusions. I just can't relax at all because my brain is working overtime. Even music doesn't help much. Its been especially bad recently because I haven't been working at all. I think the most important thing is that you have something to occupy your mind so the thoughts don't take over. Its good to know I'm not the only one with this problem.
