I don't expect anyone to read this, I'm only doing this so I can tell myself I'm trying to change. I just don't want to feel this way anymore. I feel like I'm going completely insane 24/7 and so, so lost all the time. I can't seem focus on what's going on around me and when I do actually focus my mind just goes berserk and I feel obnoxious but I can't stop. My life isn't going anywhere and I feel like I'm standing in my own way but I don't know how to fix it or if I can. I feel so alone. Also the "I" count in this post is aggravating.

Hey, sailor.
as a way to calm the mind you might try simply sitting for a minute (or two, if you feel ambitious, but starting small is a good approach), set the timer on your phone, close your eyes, and keep all your thought focused on the sensation of your breath as it goes in and out your nose. You could also focus on the rise and fall of the diaphragm, if preferred. There will be intrusive thoughts as you do this, but to continue, you simply label it for what it is and go back to your breath.

I know just how you feel. I joined this group and posted just because I felt like I 'should' like it was me trying to help myself. And maybe it is.

 Sailor....I'm glad you posted. I think you will be surprised how many people read posts and reply. PsychCentral is such a nice place to be able to be yourself and let some of the bad thoughts out. Have you sought counseling or medical help? You might find it helps to have a therapist that you can talk to and have them help you redirect your thoughts. I know I depend on my therapist a lot to keep me grounded in reality. Keep posting. It helps to let things out.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
