I can't handle this much longer. I am so stressed out. I have no where else to go though. My mind is racing all the time nowadays because there is NEVER ANY SILENCE. I can't ever just breathe. I don't know what to do.

If you are talking about "black noise" in your living quarters.. Maybe could get a set of earplugs of the good kind that block out 80-90 % of noise, so you can use selective hearing..Jus sayin'.
Thanks for this!

I assume that you are speaking of the neverending noise from within your own mind?
I can so empathize. Mine never shuts off; not deep breathing, not stretching, not yoga, not exercise. It is exhausting.
Thanks for this!

Earplugs help me too.
I'm not on meds now, but should be...but when the noise in my head gets overwhelming and I get too much anxiety, I have been relying on benedryl until I figure out how to pay to be cared for by medical professions. It helps only to a certain degree, but is better than nothing.
Thanks for this!

Have you tried white noise? There are several apps and probably a few websites.

Have you ever noticed that this perception of noise, either internal or external, tends to subside, if you are doing something you find interesting. It may sound backwards, but sometimes the best way to relax is to actually do something that takes some concentration. It must be tough to feel so stressed out. I hope you find something that eases this for you.
Thanks for this!

What I have found helpful when I find myself in these situations is to light a candle, sit on the floor or in a chair, place the candle near you so that your head is in a comfortable position and just star at the flame while breathing. I find watching the candle flame flicker and breathing relaxing.
