I learned a meditation technique where you close your eyes and try to picture yourself in a room with pure white walls, floors, and ceiling. It's actually pretty hard to do, and when you finally do it you fall asleep.

Step one: Stop referring to yourself in third person. It's not "your brain" that won't stop, it's *you.* Own it, accept it, and chill the fuck out.

I like imagining a swirling spiral galaxy, and as many individual stars as I can manage.

I've got so many things on my mind, it's driving me insane. Insane to the point where I just want to scream. It's not even important things either, just trivial B.S.

I want to turn off my brain. Tips?

You might want to go to the doctor if it gets serious to use medication for a few months. Olanzapine might work.

You don't have a turbo brain do you?

That took me .1 second. I'm still awake.

Complex problems to distract your brain is the answer. Usually.

Ride a mountain bike for eight hours on rough terrain. You will need to concentrate on not crashing and forget all that crap. The circular pedaling and deep breathing will bring peace.


Works for me, at least.

:thumbsup:

Downhill skiing works the same for me. However, when you are on the chairlift, you have 5-10 minutes of repose where you can admire the scenery and massage your sore legs. Followed then by your ski run where it demands your constant attention. Adrenaline is a great distraction!

There's a House episode where a genius makes himself dumb so that he can tolerate the stupid person he loves. Look it up and try it at home (don't try it at home).

Speaking from personal experience? :whiste:

Well, there was a bit of a history.

I had neighbors who would beat up their kids, which i warned for but people did not take me seriously. In the end (after i moved away) it did get out of hand and the children were placed out house for a while and the parents under psychological care for as far as i know.
During this time i had periods were i would sleep for 1 to 3 hours a day while continuing working.
I had a lot of stress from work.
I had friends who thrown their life down the drain while on alcohol and hard drugs and with them their families. This made me feel guilty i could not help them and almost ended up the same way.
I moved to another city with a lot of stress from moving.
There were quite a bit of rumors and gossip about me when i moved which caused me more stress.
I was not happy with my own life went and ended up not sleeping and not being able to relax anymore.
Chronic pain in my lower back did not help either to relax.
I could not longer find peace of mind within myself with racing thoughts and emotions and my body became a stranger for my consciousness. I ended up getting this medicine which allowed me to continue working and over time healing myself. I am not fond of medicines but sometimes it is just necessary.
I am not a psycho, just someone with some degree of an autism spectrum disorder who tries his best to have a normal life.
This all occurred in a period of 5 to 6 years.

I'm fairly sure the garage door opened up after you drove away.

Well...OK then.

Shoot yourself in the head. That'll turn off your brain.
I don't like that.

Watch pron 6 hours a day, listen to heavy metal all day, watch Jerry Springer, and play nothing but video games!

Your brain will be mush!
