Re: Repetition of Music in my Head
Hello Debs. That is the key with what you said (Boredom). With thoughts you need a diversion. Remember you can't control your thoughts but you can control your reaction to that thought. I know its easier said than done but keep trying to divert your attentions to something else. Don't just do a mental diversion. Do a physical diversion or read a book. The more you distract your conscious mind and make that feel better, it will subside the subconscious thoughts. Its like riding a bike, you never sat on your sofa, watched someone on TV ride a bike, then just went outside and started riding. You got on probably fell off but back on again. You taught your subconscious mind how to ride a bike and how to stay on without falling off. That's what you need to do again. Teach your subconscious to not throw them unwanted thoughts up, and that all starts with diversion. So many people on this site think they have chemical imbalances. GAD, Panic attacks, HA, OCD, Depression are all learned behavioral conditions. Chemical imbalance don't create anxiety, anxiety not always but can cause temporary chemical imbalances. Now i'm not saying about clinical depression, bipolar etc. Of course they're chemical imbalances. If our problems was chemical imbalance? Then why the so called anti-anxiety and anti-depression drugs not cure our conditions? I understand there is no money in the cure but is in the medicating. But with all the medications on the market surely at least one would work.They DON'T. They just mask and sup-press the symptoms down. Its a behavioral, a learned condition and nothing more. So get motivated, work at a structure that suits your day (not the things you can't do due to anxiety) i don't mean that. I mean the things you have to do, like get the kids ready for school, bath, cleaning etc. Try imagine living your life if you didn't have anxiety. Once the anxiety realizes you don't fear it, then it will subside. The more you bolster it, the more it will subside to eventually back to a normal everyday level.
Good luck. You know you can do it. Just need a bit of hard work and determination
