I feel like this if I need to go outside. I’m very paranoid about being in public.

It is because you are constantly living in the illusory instead of the real world.
Most people do and they do it because they like it.
When this illusory thinking becomes uncomfortable it becomes a problem for them.
What are you going to do to stop living in your imagination?
One needs to study oneself to really achieve the ending of this way fo thinking.
Why are you ruminating? what is the source of your worry? Why are you living in your imagination?
For most people, it is because they are escaping themselves! They don’t like the real world and they don’t like themselves, so they live in the illusory instead.
If even the illusory is horrible, what are you going to do?
The trick is that sitting and living with suffering it eventually goes away. To look straight at it without escaping. To be indifferent to it. To understand it is what it is and why. Just to observe yourself and understand.
Ground yourself and don’t run away into your imagination.
I meditate, and not a mediative method where you block your thoughts and concentrate either. That is not a method of acceptance. I mean why block out the whole universe?
Sit and let your mind wander. Look deep in to why a thought enters your head. Explore it and it will come to an end. Slowly and surely you get silence.
Good luck with it!

I read once folate stops ruminating, and I took the prescribed dose, and it did.

Dude have you made music recently? I feel like getting out thoughts out is the solution to over thinking. When you don’t let your feelings out through feeling emotion the neurochemicals just stay in your brain and go round and round. Singing, talking, laughing, crying whatever. You gotta express yourself.

Ya, I do this a lot. I also think about the past a lot. I don’t know what to do about it. I thought maybe I was drinking too much coffee so I cut back on coffee a few times and tried just drinking tea a few times and even went a day without any caffeine and I still kept ruminating all day. Maybe the Bupropion is partly to blame.

Also… When I make a song that works we should try to do something man…

Folate, but I don’t remember the dosage. It’s probably 1000-2000 mg/day.
