i normally obsess about things that worry me or increase my anxiety. It mainly lowered my ability to get so worked up over stuff, therefore i don't think about one thing as much. It is like putting distance btw you and what you are trying to look at (lets say a street sign). it is still there for you to focus on, but it is not in your face, therefore you are able to focus on other more important things that you choose to focus on. I remember getting horribly sidetracked on the way to class before i started taking it. my mind would flood with thoughts about the leaves, the grass, the ants, how sidewalks are made, what temperature it was, the patterns in the clouds and what they looked like. Everything was up close and details were in my face. A few days after taking the med i finally got to class on time. the background receded and i no longer got lost in thoughts about it. hope this helps. the med makes for less interesting poetry though :-)
