None of it really stopped the obsessing, planning, and si, but at least I did some of it.
Now, to find things that will work when everything is buzzing at this level...

One thing that may help you with this is realizing that just because you are doing something else doesn't mean the thoughts will go away... The goal is just to get you doing something else so you won't focus so hard on it and get trapped in it... If you can pull your focus a little until it calms down, hopefully it will make them more bearable.
