I am bothered with obsessive thoughts and have been trying to find a way to quiet my mind and block these kinds of thoughts out. I am in my late 50's so this will sound kind of funny, but I've tried coloring with crayons in coloring books to relax and zone out. It works pretty well as long as I keep coloring, but I started becoming obsessed with the crayons and started collecting them, and now have hundreds of them, maybe thousands, and keep wanting to buy more when I go shopping. Does anyone know of a way to tune out obsessive thoughts without it leading to another obsession? The anxiety that seems to go along with this is just overwhelming, and the more anxiety I feel the more I have obsessive thoughts. It's enough to drive a person crazy!
