I wish I could talk to someone who could understand my erratic thinking :(

I just don't understand what's happening to me.. no sleep, heart pumping like mad, rapid thoughts about a variety of things from relationships to work prospects to the end of the tunnel. Blanking everyone I know in person aside from the family I live with.

I can't figure out what's triggered this this time.. Not really, anyway.

Try to calm down staying awah from stressors and triggers. Can you go into nature? Woods, park, beach and sit there for a day or lie down on the ground. Grounding

@SW-User Most often memories trigger these things; though lately I've been focused on the present.. I unfortunately can't quite go into natural areas as much as I'd like to.. My state's a bit tight with lockdown restrictions still active, so I'd rather not go out unless it's necessary.

@Samael ya I know when I start to dig into my memories, it can so drive me nuts too and just totally ruin my days. I don't know then, can look for a book on thoughts or emotions management, cause that can literally last all day. Happen to me millio times

Samael

@SW-User Yeah.. usually I'm pretty good with controlling my emotions and understanding why I feel a particular thing.. this is just throwing me off because not only am I failing to discern the reason, it's having negative effects on my sleep and my social behaviour (in that I kind of just shut down and block my IRL friends out)

Stress. It may be that you are denying that current events, isolation, are stressing you out more than you realize. 6 months is a very long time to carry burden and can lead to depression. Get creative and do what Tom Hanks did in the movie “Wilson “ find creative ways to pass the time.

@Mindful I have given this a thought and do think it's a possibility.. I'm currently adhoc'ing a small boat out of popsicle sticks to pass the time but honestly I think I need to think on a new way to pass time because without much mental stimuli I fall back to the task of trying to figure out what I'm feeling and why.

I think you are definitely being creative with your spare time! Take it easy on yourself. Read or watch the diary of Anne Frank. @Samael

I should have more spare time in about 5 days...otherwise just small chatting here. In fact I should be sleeping....but...

@SStarfish I haven't been diagnosed as such.. I just had a look at the definition and it's possible - I haven't had proper sleep for the fourth day in a row.

At least you seem calm even tho your mind is going a million miles a minute.. . @Samael

Samael

@SStarfish I try to maintain a rational and logical outlook on everything, it's a habit from trying to make sense of everything I encounter.

Try to take some challenging task, that make you involved deeply into the work. Also talk to your friends/relatives that you haven't talked from long time.
