The biggest thing is to find something else to focus on until I fall asleep. Breathing is a good thing; Inhale for five counts, hold for three counts, exhale for five counts. Guided meditation is good, too. When I was in IP, I did one that tightened and then loosened the muscles.

Thx Fharraige, I will start on working breathing technique, hope it would help. One of my friend also suggested me to go Mindfulness mediation, which also i would like to try out.
I wondered if this what I am having is something very unusual. Even in the morning during I wake up I can feel mind is active with some thoughts. This is what I am accustomed to for a longtime. I did some search in web, where some people with same like symptoms pointing root cause anxiety disorder, OCD , Bipolar , etc.
My life is pretty overwhelmed by this anxiety, jittery is something i can not control. It is quite embarrassing and I am almost like Parkinson people who chronically suffer with movements.
Decision making has been quite exhaustive exercise for me, and I do over analyze things and often end up with wrong choices. Lately I am realizing as my anxiety mind is oriented towards Negativity, I was giving extra emphasis on trivial negative things, rather than failing value positive aspects.
Overall there are certain times i felt I am not matured enough with age in terms of my thoughts and thinking, and often pondered if my anxious mind riddled my personality as well.
Hoping get some more insights from anyone who might be going through.
