How to stop thinking?
| Do drugs
| Writing my thoughts down helps me get them out of my head. That way I can actually build upon thoughts instead of having them constantly swirl in my head.
I don't find it sensible to stop try and thinking but to instead focus on thinking more clearly.
| drink water and read a book
Watch a movie
Play videogames
Do anything that brings fun and/or is generally healthy, even if it's something small like bathing and keeping basic hygiene
| There was a thread on mindfulness not too long ago with some great advice for taking control of your toughts. As alluring as short term solutions like movies and video games tend to be(I'm not saying you should stop enjoying these things, just don't rely on them for mental health) doing things like >>e87869 mentioned are way better solutions.
I recommend googling for a 'mindfullness for beginners course' or if you're like me, google 'mindfulness for adhd".

mindfulness is not a practice you do, its a state you achieve once said ""ape"" brain is let the fuck go off by the internalized demands of your environment.
"woerk hawd", "dun gew diswacted by baed tfot you no work hawd if diswact"
i mean you could reach a state of complete emotional dissociation, and be the most effective drone - and even then you would feel discomfort of whatever fucks with you.
| meditations, mindfulnesses, or in other words - thinking the exact shit thats on your mind, knowing the exact feeling you are feeling, without overthinking, rationalizations, justifications, and many layers of semantical bs preventing us from clearly seeing and understanding our own humanity. not a feel good pill gurus love to push you, and have you keep going back for more since it just doesnt fooking woek like that on its own
| so i ask you to ask yourself, OP - what are you thinking in simple ape terms? monke have no banan? monke reason for monke feel bad. no wory monke fren there many banan on banan tree. monke hate monke tribe he live? monke do be like that monke fren but think how each other monke be much confusion by monke life like you are and monke understand monke just really be monke
| i just lose my shit and start running

I end up overthinking just about everything, especially when I just want to sleep. Overthinking about myself, my friends, friends who I haven't talked too or even seen in ages, if I'll even be able to get a fucking job, and generally where I'm stuck in life.
I have tried "meditating" on these issues, and it almost always comes down to "I have no money. I can't fix this."
That, or "Maybe I'm simply fucked beyond repair."
| I've been trying to get a decent job for the past 6 months, only gotten three interviews, and someone else always got the job.
Even at a place I had worked at before, there were supposedly 4 slots open for a position, and I got none of them, after nailing the interview and test.
| smoke a lot of weed every day

i dont even have billion dollar deposit to retire early, but seemingly you are allowed to live and feel content while not being a complete and utter lifetrainers inspirational instagram story worthy success. i mean, does joe biden look like a properly functioning human being to you? not, and i bet about as miserable too when you get down to it. rich tho!

| There are some really stupid posts in this thread ngl
| Something I do when I require silence in my thoughts:
Think of space just nothing in it. Only thinking about the color of it, well its usually black whatever.
Then I take a deep breath just focusing on the air thats going in. Then letting of pressure on my mind while inhaling.
Well in my case, I can't stop the thinking while I'm sleeping but after these steps I think about stuff I like just imagining pictures to pictures until I'm a sleep if its too much again, more basic stuff.
| Only way to stop thinking is through addiction.
| thinking is an addiction

| What in the world are you even thinking so hard about?
Go talk to some people who aren't you. It'll help you organize your thoughts so that you don't short circuit your blain.
| Do some exercise, make it easy enough so that you can get a full body work out too. You'll be to tired to think, and occasionally you can get some clarity by doing some monke shit.

| I've been thinking too much recently, and it's making me feel like shit. I've slept most of the past two days away, and I haven't gotten out anywhere in weeks.
The more I let this ape-brain think, the shiftier I feel.
