i cant stop writing notes about my thoughts every minute of my life. It started on early 2021 and it gets worse till now. From evernote to word to note app on my phone. What can i do about this? Im losing basic capability to just sit down and do my job/project/hobbies. The notes itself are mostly ramblings and rumination. Im turning 25 in couple days and still jobless. Im not sure what to do to make myself feel "professional" again.
>>34534548Don't try to quit cold turkey, go from making notes whenever wherever to giving yourself designated time to journal a few times a day, then reduce the amount of times a day. You can probably force yourself to learn to be more real with yourself. This is the issue you keep rambling. If you had a person in front of you whose time was limited, you would probably be able to say more with less. You can learn to do that privately, too, and finding the words that sum it up usually helps a lot with wanting to get every nuance and detail acknowledged by yourself. You start realizing paying attention equally to every thought and feeling also amounts to not seeing or wanting to see the bigger picture. Also in general I recommend for you to reflect on why you have the urge/habit and share your struggle with other people. I would guess that it is a way to immediately distance yourself from what you feel, to take the observing point of view. But that is just a guess. Understanding better what you get out of it can also make it easier to get those needs met in other ways or even question the needs themselves and if you really want to have those fulfilled or that you consider them unhealthy, unproductive.Good luck.
