Being a depressive with Generalized Anxiety Disorder often leads me to truly believe I am going mad. My thoughts never hush and trying to focus on a single thought or activity feels virtually impossible. Lately my brain has been more busy than usual. I am constantly overwhelmed to the point where death feels so inviting. Even just sitting down not doing a single thing feels like it is way too much. It really is hard to believe that others experience it- I truly feel as if I’ve gone mad. I am always looking for things to help ease my mind. Breathing exercises help some people, but not myself. One thing I have found to be useful is to ‘ground’ myself. One grounding exercise I practise is; finding 5 things I can see, 4 things I can feel or touch, 3 things I can hear, 2 things I can smell and one thing I can taste.
What are other things you do to help ease your busy mind?
