How do I stop the things going on in my head?

They say that humans only use 10% of their brain capacity. In my case, i don't think so. Simply because all the things that go on in my head couldn't all be squashed up in a small space of my brain. Even when im asleep, these things still bug me. Like work, friends, boyfriend/s, scientific equations, locations of places on the map, optimization, ....... the list goes on.





My only reprieve from this is when I smoke weed. Then everything gets clear and i can concentrate on the important things in life. We all know that weed is bad, so how do i get away from my brain without having to smoke a big fat potent spliff?

akward! go see a doctor man!!!
Reply:Racing thoughts and cluttered thinking are often signs of mania or hypomania. Depending on the rest of your life and things that you may be doing but don't notice, you may be suffering from a neurotransmitter imbalance in your brain that causes your uncontrollable thinking, such as an anxiety or mood disorder.





Warning signs for this these types of imbalances are abound, but here is a list:





Increased energy





* Decreased sleep


* Little fatigue


* An increase in activities


* Restlessness





Speech Disruptions





* Rapid, pressured speech


* Incoherent speech (generally not present in hypomania)


* Clang associations: the association of words based on their sound


(For example, my ex-husband once carried on for some time about vacancies, vagrancies and bacon seeds.)





Impaired Judgment





* Lack of insight


* Inappropriate humor


* Inappropriate behaviors


* Impulsive behaviors


* Financial extravagance


* Grandiose thinking





Increased or Decreased Sexuality





* May include inappropriate or sexual behavior





Changes in Thought Patterns





* Distractibility


* Creative thinking


* Flight of ideas


* Disorientation


* Disjointed thinking


* Racing thoughts





Changes in Mood





* Irritability


* Excitability


* Hostility


* Feelings of exhilaration





Changes in Perceptions





* Inflated self-esteem


* Hallucinations (not present in hypomania)


* Delusions (not present in hypomania)


* Paranoia (generally not severe in hypomania)


* Increased religious activities

If any of these symptoms are prevalent in your life, I highly recommend talking to your primary care physician and explaining your situation. Marijuana may work for the time being, but over time (a few years), it's entirely possible it will stop working and issues may become more severe.





And by the way, you aren't alone. There are quite a few people out there who have the same issue with uncontrollable thinking as you do. =) Try and stay strong and see your physician.

It's not bad for you. It's natural and much better than pills with all their risks and side effects.
Reply:sounds like your developing an addiction and may have another condition that you are trying to solve by smoking weed. Seek out medical help from your confidential doctor.
Reply:I would suggest meds but from personal experience you don't want to go there. Keep your little habit. It's not so bad.
Reply:hey, F that..how can you say weed is bad? b4 i read the 2nd paragraph i was goin to say smoke weed.. there are thousands of legal drugs that are way worse for you than weed.. i'd say take that reason and get a medical card so u can legally smoke
Reply:There are prescription medications you can obtain. Visit a doctor about your problem.
