welcome to my world my friend.
out of curiosity, do you have flashbacks. Like you will be sitting there and all of a sudden mildly relive something that happened years ago? thank god i don't do that in public, just start letting out muffled screams & shit.
I'm looking into medications & therapies for OCD right now. I hope they help.
Some of the psych. tactics are thus
1. find anything in the room, and try to remember everything you can about it. If you look at the phone, remember where you bought it, who invented the phone, etc. Supposedly this will help distract you.
2. Reward & punishment for certain thoughts.
3. clapping yoru hands, or saying 'stop' when you have a thought you don't want.
Anyway, those things don't work too well. but i figured i'd post them anyway.
Why don't you try medication like SSRI's? i know you've said before that you don't want to believe your problems are biological, but a biological solution might make your problems more manageable on a cognitive level.
When i was on buspar, my anxiety went down enough so that i could logically talk my way out of anxiety. Like if something that would give me anxiety w/o buspar happened, i would just say 'thats not whats happening' or 'its not that important' and the anxiety wen't down. When i was off it i couldn't control it cognitively.

Is that a new alternative to bungee-jumpie with invisible safe rope?
Your brain in only thinking because there is a high amount of ATP and glucose that supply it with the energy to think. My suggestion is to administer a 50iu shot of insulin with no carbs before bedtime to get that the glucose shuttled out of your brain and into your muscles where it belongs. No glucose = no thinking = lots and lots and lots of sleep.

I do a simple breath technique, I just focus my thoughs on breathing in and out. It may sound very stupid, but it has worked for me for some time now.

I live in an old house, and the previous owner hung himself in the garage, so needless to say their are some fucked up noises here also. I found that runnning a fan creates anice white noise to fall asleep to.

I can sleep just about anywhere... why just yesterday I fell asleep at the wheel on the 91 going about 80... I think I woke up after a minute, but it was a nice snooze. I could seriously sleep 18 hours a day, if it weren't for me feeling "guilty".
I find that if I go to bed around 2am, I don't dream..

saint808, I feel for ya. I'm the same way. My brain just won't stop thinking. Once I do fall asleep, after 90 minutes, I'm good until that 2:45am piss. I get up take a piss and lay down to fall asleep and FUCK! Mind starts going again. Just thinking about all kinds of shit. So my 2:45am piss turns into a 90 minute interuption. Just as I fall asleep, my alarm goes off at 4:50am. And this happens 5-6 nights a week.
I aim for the 8 hours of sleep a night thing and this happens. If I aim for 6 hours of sleep, sure I sleep through the night, but I awake tired, and have that not so fresh feeling!
