Distracting Doesn't Work Anymore

[xXoblivionXx]

Usually I start to get bad thoughts when I'm not occupied so I've done my best to keep myself distracted. But now even when I am distracting myself the thoughts creep in. I want to give my mind a rest and I feel like there's only one way to do that :(

xXoblivionXx,

One way I've found to try and help with this problem is, rather than distracting, you can face them head on, see what they are at their core. There is one great way to do this: Deep meditation. Once you meditate on any one thought for a long period of time(when done correctly), you will often find where the thought truly emerges and you will be able to learn about it and get to know it better. While this may not solve the problem, it could help you to become more accepting of its existence.

There are many people online who post tutorials and such on how to perform real, effective meditation techniques. You should look into it. :)

Do you have any friends or family that you're comfortable talking to?

yes, I have 2 friends who are pretty close whom I can talk to. But I feel like I'm burdening them. They tell me it's okay to have a bad day and not want to talk and be upset for no reason. but it's a problem when I have a lot of those days, when that's what it feels like everyday.

If you say your friends are really close, they shouldn't think you're a burden to them. Tell them how you really are and they should listen to what you have to say. Prove that what you're going through isn't just a "bad day," but something completely different than an average bad day. I know that what you're facing isn't just an average bad day since you've been dealing with this more than a day and it seems it isn't getting better.

I went through this same situation. I found a way to distract my problems but eventually, they would just keep coming no matter what. I finally realized that you have to face your problem(s) head on and figure out the root to them.

It worked for me and now I'm feeling great as I figured the root to my problems.
