    My mind cant rest
    I am 19 I'm having trouble sleeping. I stayed up for 24 hours, went to sleep for about 5-6 and I'm wide awake again. My mind races every second, its driving me crazy. I think about all kinds of different things. It could be a game, or religion thoughts that horrify me. This has been going on for a very long time. And just recently its beginning to bother me. I'm depressed, I wake up and do nothing and have nothing to do. I sit at home, all the time for the most part and play games and do the same routine. I don't like being around people.I can get very angry very quick when I shouldn't even get mad at things like that. I don't like sleeping no more, my eyes are heavy right now. And if I try to go to sleep my mind races and I think about the things I don't want to think about. My mind is just draining me and I feel helpless. Is there something wrong with me? I don't even like telling people about what I think and how I feel about my situation.

    There is nothing wrong with you, I suffer from the same thing. Has something bad happen in your life? Anything you've done? Maybe wronged someone? I have PTSD and I have the same problem, all honestly I couldn't fix it on my own, eventually I went and saw a doctor and they gave me some sleeping pills, I strongly suggest you do the same.

    I've almost died twice in my life, overdosed once and got hit by an F5 tornado.
    I've wronged people before in my life, who hasent you know. But I'm sorry I have did those things and I try my best to make up for it.

    I would talk to a psychiatrist. You've got things running all over the place and you need to focus and meditate. Quiet those voices.

    An exercise I got to help deal with my borderline OCD was to sit still and describe five things I can sense with all my senses. IE, what do I hear, what do I feel, what do I see, what do I smell, what do I taste. This can calm the mind.

    Talk to someone. They'll help.

    "my borderline OCD" - I deal with mine by saying OCQ as in Qualities. It makes me feel better and isn't that what it is about?
