(((((((( Peanuts ))))))))))

I so understand this. My minds works so fast that it's hard for me to rest it. It keeps me in "overdrive" in real life and things just like you mentioned can be huge issues for me as well.

Some things that help me are:

After writing down the things that are bothering me (so my mind will know they're being attended to as possible, I take a long hot bath and let it "roll away" as I repeat, "I have it to attend to so it doesn't need to stay here rolling around and upsetting me. It's not forgotten." That helps me to get that kind of stuff out of my head until I NEED to address it (which is sometimes never).

Also, I try to find activities that occupy me mind, body and spirit...crafts and writing. They calm me and put me in a good place, and also I feel productive.

Later, when I'm doing better, I will pull out the paper of listed things and see if any of them need addressing and apply them as I need to. Alot of the time comments have a totally different meaning for me in that they just aren't as big as they felt prior.

I so understand and wish you well.
