What do you do when you can't get something out of your head?

[MC Hammered]

No matter how hard I try, no matter how much time has past, when I close my eyes at night I see the same image of the same person.

I swear I'm going insane and my mind is one thing I do not know how to control.

smoke a joint or go to work

If these are negative thoughts you speak of, re-focus them on to positive thoughts.

It's a waste of energy to focus on the negative. It does you no good and will ultimately drag down every other part of your life as well.

talk about it
get it out through expression

I've tried exhausting my body in order to exhaust my mind.

But I can only push and punish the body so much.

[t-skywalker]

i go watch van wilder...some reason no matter what is in my head,...as soon as i see the guys eating the donughts and the guy having mad gas in class i tend to forget the old image and see nothing but the funny new ones...lol...funny movies rock!!!!

bury it deep down inside and not deal with it until eventually i turn into a raging bitch about something completely irrelevant

it's totally healthy

[-evil-duerr-]

smoke loads of chronic, or workout is all i do. n that only works half the time. keep busy is the best. get out of the head and onto a project of some sort. playin music and doin art of some sort is always a sure way to convert negativity into positivity.

i feel ya, i've had that same problem for like 6 months, and it still won't go away
*mad*

[LLaaUUrrYYn]

When im laying in bed trying to sleep..but cant get things off of my mind I just repeat "dont think" over and over in my head until it either drives me crazy or I fall asleep...

If its something thats made me cry.. I just cry until I fall asleep. (crying takes up so much energy!)

Most times I just read a book until I cant keep my eyes open.. Books are the best for that ;D

Green thing one your leg.

Masturbate
Work out until you're exhausted
Work on the car
Build a porch, or whatever else needs done around the house
Veg in front of a video game or book
Take yoga, find zen.

Good luck.

I know exactly what you are going through, and a lot of the time i wish there were was a swtich at the back of my kneck which allowed me to turn off thought.

Try as best as you can to stay busy, be around friends, DO THING that require your attention so you cant focus it elswhere. watch a movie etc.

If you can also, try to change the channel and think about something else even if its forced. Obsessive thoughts are never healthy, haha.

DEAL, why are thinking about this person ...how can you change your perception....can you talk to them...etc. Try to find closure, (even if that requires talking about it for a whole day with a friend...you need to get it all out, so find a forum even if its writing ) so you can regain clarity and sanity.


it's a hard one cause' you really cant help the way you feel....best of luck, I salute you.

[charly]

i hide it best during the day and let it all go at night.

cry myself to sleep. it takes up energy and no one has to know.

[Prissypants]

sing the themesong to hockey night in canada...

but seriously...go out and meet new people...It always works for me...
