I really do empathize with you. Do you ever try turning something on or reading to interrupt those thoughts? (edit: I see Yoda already suggested this!)
Yes oh my goodness it is the most vicious cycle isn't it? It has been relentless lately. I am 23 years old and have so much going for me yet there's this darkness that has a grasp on me it feels like. I know I am not depressed, I just feel like I can't get a grasp on anything. Thank you for expressing empathy, it does help knowing others have experienced this and I am not losing my mind.
