Does Anyone Else Have A Racing Mind?

Anni, I've been thinking lately about "and the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness does not overcome it." So, cheerlead away all you want :)

Wendy, I have the same problem. I hate it but my T said it goes with the PTSD. It is worse at times and I don't know why. I can't seem to focus on one thing for too long. I go from one thing to the other. I jump from paying bills online to ordering things I need to and then I am off to cleaning or something. It is exhausting! I also have the problem at night with sleeping because of it. My mind races from one thought to the other. I am trying the relaxation and meditation tapes and am hoping it helps. I would suggest keeping that up and eventually it may help. I also listen to music and that does help sometimes.

yes, Music helps. Anything that involves the mind as completely as possible is good diversion from brooding. activities and experiences that involve more senses are just that much more effective, at least for me. I can lose myself in a good passage from a favorite song and be totally free of the demons and the racing thoughts for a period of time, a nice tool to use because all you have to do is turn on the victrola and you get a break from the fight.
