Thanks pinkeye.
it sounds really awful to be hounded by thoughts constantly, i may not understand it fully, mine really isnt that constant it happens only when people are really sick and i worry about thier health or during finals.
But when it does happen I do really find that keeping myself occupied is hugely helpful. i think talking to yourself and reassuring yourself that what you are worrying about is not worth your time can be helpful. You know?
i think in part, we need to take things less seriously. Its not that easy but if you reduce the value that you place on things it helps to see them as less important therfore less need to worry about. just my thoughts from what I experiecne but try that self-talk. What i try to think is tha twe are here once, enjoy it while we are. Why worry about what otehrs think etc, when there are things we still havent done or seen in life. I cant believe i just said that. Also reassuring yourself that you haev control and you are in control of your life. i dont think there is an easy answer, I think it lies in accepting ourselves as who we are and feeling fullfilled.i hope things get easier
