Racing Thoughts

I’m struggling with ADHD…and all that comes with it. I’m especially having trouble with “negative what if’s” which trigger cravings and that really makes for a challenging day.

I can relate. Still struggle with being in my own head. Some days are better than others.

Ray, I experience that exact same thing. I feel like my thoughts are high jacked by my addiction or what I refer to as my addict/ego! Once I’m aware of this, I intentionally override my thoughts with the exact opposite thoughts. What if, I am about to experience the luckiest and happiest outcome etc.
I also must think and write about everything I am grateful for.
This is a daily practice, usually best to start upon awakening and throughout the day and night.
This really helps me.

With you. I've also suffered from catastrophic thinking. Try to busy mind the best you can and remind yourself that we are here for only a short time and how this thinking is such a waste of time.
