I know that maybe its hard for you to believe it, but you are NOT a freak. I wish that i could help you to better understand that..
I'm not entirely sure how you can "turn" your mind off ... but i guess i just try and distract myself. Do things that you enjoy doing ... for me if i can, i like to go play piano, or go for a walk ... just trying not to focus on what you are thinking of, and just replace that with other (healthy) things. I know ... its easier said than done, but its something that i think we can all work at.
Be gentle with yourself,
