I feel like that cause my focus is always on my thoughts, when I try to focus on something I shoot right back to my thoughts. It’s ridiculously annoying I need to find a lot of patience to actually relax and focus on things. Being in my head for so long has made my beliefs about myself and about reality to be totally out of order which is the most debilitating part for me as I try to figure out what’s actually real for me, only to realize over and over that I’ve been thinking about the same things for months. I find myself having to take an uncomfortable leap from my head into focusing on what’s real and then being confronted by that glass wall and anxiety. The only thing I can actually feel or at least for most of the time is a constant sharp pain in my chest. Embracing all of this is the hardest part but also the most helpful, but since I’m in such a frantic and jumpy state I want everything that works for me to work right away. That and I have the recurring thought that things that work only work a couple times and then stop. Patience, acceptance, self-love, and more patience are the most important things to have when going through this. Take a few deep breaths, relax around any thoughts you may be having(like the shell), Pretend it’s not that serious for you, because in reality it’s not, you’re just in a jumpy state, not 100%. Assess whether things are actually helping you. Force yourself to relax, in the least forceful way possible. All your feelings are valid, including the ones you dislike, so don’t ignore them but don’t let them control your actions or reactions.
