over-thinking about over-thinking

[cowboyup]

yup, me again. Sorry. Today has been challenging for me to get through. I finally resorted to taking a valium for my panic attack. The last resort after I tried some chamomile tea and valerian.

Feeling better now. But sleepy.

I wound up snapping at my brother and then just retorted to my room, lights off, and cried.

Ever wonder where the heck these emotions, feelings of loneliness and sadness come from when seems just out of the blue?

I guess for me I was "over thinking about over thinking" and just got myself so worked up that I crashed and burned. Well, tomorrow is another day.

I'm the same way. I go through a rollercoaster of emotions from morning until night.

This is where stillness could be practiced. Which is very hard with constant impulses and emotions that we receive on a daily basis.

Someone else posted a story about the Buddha and the water being muddy and just waiting a moment and the water becomes clear again as the mud sinks after a while.

It's hard because even when I am trying to be still (meditation, present moment awareness, being, mindfulness whatever you want to call it), I am thinking about doing it. But practice makes perfect I hope.

Over thinking is such a dangerous route, I always try to stop myself, I've found over the years that meditation is the best way to escape.

I do this too, I overthink about everything, even overthinking. I hope you have a better day tomorrow.

I'm tired of thinking. I pass two hours a day in a bus just looking at nothing and thinking...

thanks guys

I used to be able to meditate - but got lost somewhere...

I think that is a good idea for me to get back into. It'll take time for me to quiet my mind, but practice, practice, practice
