Do you find yourself with so many thoughts on your mind that you just don't know where to turn. Most days, I mind is going 90 to nothing and I just can't get a streight thought in my mind. I spend about 80% of my time alone. And I am always thinking. I think about work, kid, husband, things to do, how to create an extra income and so much more. Sometimes my head is so full of thoughts I forget what I was just doing. Has anyone else ever have this problem and how do you deal with it. I even find myself crying sometimes and not even sure WHY!

Our minds can be our mortal enemy at times....I spend my whole day alone, I live by myself so when I wake up I start thinking till the day ends.
Just as right now, I spent my whole day thinking and I feel like my mind will explode anytime. I keep on thinking and this thoughts had been driving me nuts. I find myself with heavy breaths and sighs since I do not know what or which will be the thought I should do first.
I have so many ideas on mind that I want to do and I get all mix up and this ideas are flowing.
Sometimes I think I'm kind of crazy.

Boy do I now that feeling. I can look at something that needs done, and get up to do it and suddanly I forget what I was going to do. I find myself just standing there looking stupid and thinking "what was I going to do"?

EVERYDAY OF MY LIFE. I have issues with OCD though. I get one thought in my head and then the others follow and then chasing after 8 kids and feeding a grumpy man when he gets home. Sure, I have cried many nights, wondering where our next meal was coming from, or how much stuff can I get done in one day for peace and quiet the next day only to realize that what I do today just left spots open for tomorrow for other things to fill up. It seems like a never ending cycle. No wonder there are so many mothers out there, crazy and balding. I remember back in the 50's and 60's in the movies about mothers who had Valium. I now know why they needed it, only it's so much worse now. I hope you get to feeling better. I just breathe and take one day at a time!

Hi peedielyn,
That's all you can do sometimes is just take one day at a time. I keep thinking that maybe I will just take a quite walk...But, I don't have time for that. Even though my husband goes to bed so early. He would notice that I was gone. I can't even go do the laundry, without him yelling for me wanting to know what I am doing or where am I. And when I think I can finally set down he starts pointing out things I haven't done. So my mind is always going to what do I need to get done. or when I leave for work. I have found myself turning around and going back to the house to make sure I turned off the coffee pot or to make sure I locked the door. It's little things like that, I am always forgetting due to all the other things running through my head. Just like now...I am in the middle of creating the catalog for whom I work for. and I am thinking of what am I going to fix for dinner. I hope the dog gets out of the storm, I need to put pictures on page 5 oh and I forgot that picture for page 8. what disk was that picture on. This stuff goes on all the time.....I even think maybe I need to make a list. And just focus on those things for that day. And try to get everything else off my mind....

Hi, tonniek!
Been there. Done that. I think the only way things settled down a little bit was to get older. Issues just sort of settle themselves. It still happens now and then, but not as irritatingly often as it used to...

It happens to everyone at different ages, depending on how life turns out. Life really does get better all the time, even when things aren't going well.

Sometimes i am alone and got sick and i came to think lot of things, like my brothers family problem, my mother's situation, my nieces and nephews, what my friends are doing, what will i do if i got sick for days and i am still alone, because saturday and sunday i have no companion, especially at night. I am also crying to remember my grandparents and the memories i had when they're still living, I am thinking of my significant others and ask why he don't talk to me. Lots of question in my mind and it really drives you crazy i you think a lot of things. I felt pain in between of my eyes if i overdo thinking anything.

Thanks for your response. Yes, it can all drive a person crazy. I have a husband, but he is ill and goes to bed very early. And the kids are grown and gone so I find myself with to much going through my head. And it is heard to just chill out and find a peaceful place in my mind.

Yes, crying is a good release. But the thoughts are still there. Even though my mind feels alittle better. But sometimes when I just let loose and cry. I cry hard and then start thinking what the H@Ll are you crying about. And I know it is because I am a very sensitive person. I my feelings run very deep

Yes i have, and it leads to stressed out thought patterns. If your brain is always going a hundred mile an hour and always thinking ahead and over and over on the same thing, you need a plan. A life guide, where do you see yourself in 5 years? and what steps and changes do you need to make to make this a reality. money is a tough one same as kids these kinds of stresses are everchanging and sometimes seeming to be never ending, but you need to conclude some of your thoughts and take steps into making 1 or 2 plans a reality instead of dreaming of every option and going around in circles in your head.

Good thought, but how do you move put each thought in its rightful place and take one step at a time. Sometimes....NO, I have actually just let out a scream. Hoping that will releave some of the thoughts that are just clouding up my head. I don't work!!!

Yup! I can totally relate! I spend the same amount of time isolating and I think a lot too. If I could get paid just for thinking............? LOL!
At night when I'm going to bed sometimes I have to leave the T.V. on. That way my thoughts are distracted enough to be able to relax and go to sleep.
Also, if I wasn't on medication I would be crying at everything too, like commercials even!
Take care, tonnie!

that happens to me sometimes, but the worst time for that to happen is when I am trying to sleep and a lot of ideas are streaming in my mind. It made sleeping very hard. I ended up sleeping early in the morning.

That's my daily deal. It just don't stop when I go to bed. Sometimes my mind is so full I can't quite thinking and find myself still awake hours after I go to bed and up very early
