I can't stop thinking. I live in my head. I can't concentrate on anything for more than 3 seconds. And I try to be like, snap back into reality, but I can't. Instead I'm stuck in my racing, delusional head.
Chain smoking helps a little. But is there any better way?
I wish I wasn't an insomniac up at 5am, but my mind won't stop.
I can't write anymore or I'm going to cry.
oof.

It's weird how the chain smoking really does help. Its one of the things I miss about smoking. I hope you get some peace and stillness soon.

oof, i hear you about the smoking, but it sounds to me like you need to go in for a med adjustment.

Yes, Wingin is right - meds need to be adjusted to help you.
In the mean time, try find something mind-numbing you can do to keep yourself occupied. I do Sudoku or play simple PC games. It makes me drowsy enough to sleep, and keeps myself from over-analysing things.

I tend to spend a lot of time in my head when I'm stress or depressed - it really makes things even worse
