I am in my own head

Lord I wish I could quite my mind. I have so much crap running though it right now I can't focus on anything and I feel like am about to have a panic attack. I even stepped out for a quick cigar to calm down but no my tics are strong and I gave up on that. I even tried writing shit down but I couldn't even focus to do that.

When writing stuff down, don't think about it.
Pick up the pen and write everything that comes out.
Even if that is - "I can't think about what to write about"
That starts the process, keep writing every word that is there.
Eventually your mind will have no more words that need to come out.
This might take an hour, two hours, three hours....
The longest I ever wrote non stop was 3 1/2 hours. 44 A4 size sheets.
I never read what I wrote, because that would have put it back in my head.
I tore up what I wrote and threw it out.
Persistence.
Before you say, "I have too much to do", make time, tell Joel what you want to do and find a quiet place.

@Gusman that is a good idea. I think I will try that.
