Hello,
I'm a guy of 23 suffering from obsessive thoughts. No matter what I do, my brain is thinking about something and day dreaming. There is a constant mental chatter. Thoughts can be any and most of them are irrational. So, my brain always feels cloudy and heavy. My thoughts are very deep. For eg, if I'm listening to some music, then I imagine myself singing the song in front of my friends or crowd and they are loving my singing. If I'm listening to some electronic/dance music, then I imagine about dancing in some party or club. So if I enjoy the imagination related to the music, then only I enjoy the song, otherwise not. When I'm driving, instead of focusing on the traffic, I'm lost in my thoughts. I'm scared that someday I will get into an accident. I get distracted easily. It's been few years that I have not been able to concentrate on any subject matter. The only thing I can focus is on my imagination. Due to this, my studies have been extremely poor. I cannot concentrate because my mind is always busy on the thoughts/imagination. It's like a movie being played in my brain. I have minor OCD like arranging and checking things, though its not extreme. I don't enjoy things which I enjoyed in the past. There is nothing which I'm good at. I thnik I'm depressed too. I don't have a good social life(except few friends). I'm not very good when it comes to women, so I never had a girlfriend in my life. I'm always lost in my thoughts. I went to psychologist few months ago and did about 5 sessions but it didn't help at all. Please provide me some suggestions.......

If you are still here on this sight. You should not feel alone. I to am the same way as you. I have no friends and just got out of a 20 year relationship. It was an abusive one, so i day dreamed a lot to get away from my life. Now I am not with him, and still day dream a lot. I feel i will get in a wreck also. I feel so lost, not anchored to reality. It is a strange feeling.

hiboyof211, yeah, my brain is constantly producing thoughts/scenarios that take my focus away from reality and keep me in my own world. It can isolate me to the point of feeling like I'm not a part of anything or anybody around me. I have no true connections. Writing out my thoughts and talking about it help me. Its tough though...personally, I have to sometimes really push myself to keep talking with real people and participating in society. I know I can't allow myself to ever completely loose contact and just live in my own world because I may never be able to get get out of it. Well, all I can really say is to keep pushing yourself to maintain what you have now--then, grow more from it.....D
