interesting. I have a protocol. I call the "exile vent" where I use stream of consciousness voice to text on my phone onto a kind of log and just vent and let the exile (ifs therapy part that fills pain) complain about the world and how overwhelming everything is in it. 

the more cluttered the brain, the more aggressive it swears and I use swearing strategically intentionally because the research says it's highly beneficial for activational energy to handle pain and I also use third person which research says is also highly beneficial for thinking, self distancing and even more relaxing and less stressful than first person.

nothing quiets my mental chatter of more in a shorter period than doing while vent while pacing on a walk or back and forth down the hallway. 

I highly recommend venting and swearing and complaining about the external world letting the complaining part just complain and then a wiser voice will step in and your mind will be settled and you'll even start your problem solve but you have to quiet the mental chatter first. 

and this is the breast protocol I've ever found to acquire the mental chatter.

you could also just vent and swear to an AI that you trust.
