Lots of people are, you're not alone. Ever met someone that can't shut the fuck up or who's mind just never seems to stop going?

@Elegy yes! I'm that person who's mind never shuts up and I seek escape from it.

@Dionysus Some choose to medicate, others accept it and work with it. Some of course just suffer. It would be great if you could just get it under wraps.

@Elegy thank you and yes, it's time.

@Dionysus Meditation would probably be a great first step. It would suck a first =but with time and practice I bet it would become easier.
