Anyone else have this? Any tips for turning the volume down on a crazy busy brain?
I can sometimes become fixated on something and cannot stop thinking about it, going over and over what is annoying me and having endless conversations about it inside and outside my head.
Even when on my own, I can rehearse future scenarios and what I would hypothetically say and play out over and over how I would next tackle the situation. Often it amounts to nothing..
Just this weekend a family member who pushed me to breaking point several years ago is back with the same usual cyclical life drama and has come running in my direction for support again. I've put my foot down this time but can't stop thinking about how much they annoyed me in the past and how badly they continue to run their life, ignoring all my help and advice I've given for so many years.
With a very busy and young family I could do with switching off. From this and every other time it happens.
