Find help: I hear myself talk, except its not me. - Help.com

I hear myself talk, except its not me.

I struggle to find the words that express what it is I want to say. I get so caught up in my head with my thoughts I can’t hold a real conversation. My mind is buzzing and I get so distracted that it is hard for me to concentrate to social cues and to what people are saying…

I don’t know what I want. I often struggle with making simple decisions. I cant commit to my decisions, to my beliefs, to my attitudes towards things. Im very indecisive and often just go with the final choice, not because it’s the best but because I’m too tired to figure out what it is I want… when people challenge my thoughts or actions, I start to analyze why I did something and what I should have done, but end up being more confused…

I know the kind of person I want to be, the kind of person I would feel comfortable being. I just need find myself again. But I don’t know how. I feel numb and lost.

i wasnt always like this. and not knowing who i am scares me more than anything. its gotten to a point where i feel like a foreigner even around the people i was always happiest with.

please. any advice.

Hi, in order to get more focus, you need first to verify that your healh is good. See your doctor just to make sure. You can do the following exercise every day for about 15 to 20 min in order to train your brain to focus on one subject. This exercise have helped a lot of other persons with similar problems.

If you are interested to do something about it, go on Google and do a search on the following words “Hu song”. Select the first link and read about it, you can listen a mp3 that will show you how to do it. When you do this exercise, don’t forget to focus on a feeling of love for somebody or something that you love to do. Love is the key word, it will bring you peace of mind that you are looking for. Don’t expect a drastic change overnight, do that for at least a month and write down your state of mind everyday, after a month look back at your writing, you will see the change.

best of luck
