hi ace
are you taking any medications...sounds like you have ruminating thoughts.... i had them alot too and the same thing where my mind just would not shut off. i am taking meds and they have helped me immensley along with doing things to keep yourself busy like the other ladies suggested.

i know some people dont like to take meds, but in my case i have been on and off them pretty much all my life.... mostly on so if it can help than i will do that.
