An exercise that I came up with this morning seemed to work quite well at relaxing me and slowing down my thoughts. I laid on the bed and visualized that my thoughts were floating out of my head like steam. If I opened my mouth I could see the sentences, words and letters rising upwards and evaporating. If unwanted thoughts came into my head I allowed them to immediately flow out of my mind. My breathing slowed down and I found myself calm and relaxed.
It is great that I am slowly learning how to calm down, but unfortunately when I leave the solitude of relaxation and return to the real world I am still unable to manage the overstimulation of daily living without feeling mentally paralyzed and overwhelmed.
