have you tried going to google, type in 'hyper attention disorder', and then forcibly running into a brick wall?

I'm gonna be a bit long on this post as I've been there before:

To me it seems u spend too much time in the past/future. U are constantly analazing things which happened before or projecting things in the future. This is natural (and advisable IMO) for academic requirements, but it isn't healthy at all for ur daily life. I bet if someone watches you doing trivial things (cooking, chilling with friends, etc) they can see on ur face that u are wrestling with ur toughts.

It used to happen to me at it really drains ur mental energy/focus. U'll be better for everything (at least in some degree) and feel overall happier if u fix this. To do so there are many ways and they work different for everyone, so try them all. Trust me, this is like the best thing u can do.

Possible solutions:

-Change ur attitude towards life. Assume u are the best person u know and therefore don't need to worry about shit unless it interests URSELF. Easier said than done , but this is the most important thing i've ever heard off lol.
-Don't try to not "think". Instead try changing ur focus, or better, GO OUT AND DO SOMETHING. By changing or focus I mean instead of worrying on something negative/upcoming event/old event, think on something u want to do NOW and how to do it. Even better, GO AND DO IT.
-Drugs (I have used alcohol only btw ) help depressing useless thoughts. Just start with a moderate "dosis" and lower it gradually till u no longer need it.
-DO SPORTS THAT REQUIRE FULL FOCUS. Contact sports/WEIGHTLIFTING*.
-Try doing meditation.

You are consiously aware of ur problem, so fix it. Don't think on crap u don't need or care.

*Learn to do full body exercies such as presses, squats and deadlifts. Not wussy curls with dumbbells.

Roche pills. But... you'll only find them around south texas(and mexico of course).

They cure paranoia and help you relax. Also Xanax bars and Valiums ;P

im one of those guys that is indifferent to pretty much everything. I dont need calming down, as there is nothing that uncalms me

Realize that life will unfold as it does and there's not much you can do to stop it as you are only an individual...this will either make you very angry with the world or you will realize there is nothing to get upset over

Good post, basically how I feel. Getting angry usually accomplishes nothing and just makes you feel worse.

wtf@the weed.....how abuot something actually healthy?


If I were you I'd seriously consider trying the weed, that is if you haven't tried it yet.
Giving it a try isn't unhealthy, and if you were to like it you could get a vaporiser for long term healthy smoking pleasure

I know it sounds silly, but counting to 10 really helps... for immediate calming.

Also, if you start exercising regularly, it changes your state of mind and makes you happier/calmer.
People who fail to distinguish Socratic Method from malicious trolling are sadly stupid and not worth a response.

Also, you could cook the weed instead of smoking if health concerns you.
I... I always talk to myself to calm myself down.. but it's so rare that I need to calm down usually.

how can some people conclude that he needs to start taking drugs after reading a 4 line post? some people have really shitty advices lol, OP I hope you don't listen to them when you can actually just try and close your eyes breathing deeply for 10 seconds...

and to the OP, I don't see what's the problem with your situation. you always need to do something and have difficulty calming down...where's the problem? as long as it doesn't keep you from sleeping, doing something every moment is actually an advantage in life, if you manage to do something useful in those times. i'm personnally very lazy and I would love to be able to actually DO something instead of browsing TL for 5 hours.

Very calm guy myself. I usually just remind myself, at least with regarding about worrying about something, that I can't change what happened and I should just relax.
