It goes off in very complex directions usually triggered by a worry and I just want to tone it down.
Try reading The happiness trap by Dr Russ Harris.
I’ve got my own answer - To whom it may concern - “You want your damn disaster? Then have it. I’m tired of running through hoops about your fears.”
Gertrude Stein went to college where William James was one of her professors. She told him she wanted to simplify her life/mind(?). He told her - complicate all you want to. It has to simplify. Many years later she said yeah, he was right.
I don’t understand. How can it simplify when you complicate it?

That is what the medications do if they are working. Switch to something else if you are feeling complicated.
Also, distracting your mind with an entertaining media like Netflix will help a lot to simplify things, get your mind off what ever is so complex. Do not use caffeine so much, reduce it by half and sleep more this will help a lot.
I don’t know. It was one of the many thing Gertrude Stein wrote that I don’t understand. All I know is that in her experience she did what he said and things turned out that way.
I recommend a fine scented candle and a hot cup of herbal tea. Maybe a good book from the library. Best stress relief I know of that doesn’t involve a camera.

Maybe follow the course it naturally takes?..It’ll go somewhere, instead of trying to stop the flow , the tide.
