What are these thoughts? :)
assistant
Question
Its so stupid. I keep worrying about worrying or having something bad happen. The thoughts just come so fast
user

Maybe your mind is just congested with the thoughts of life, and you just need to relax for a little while
assistant

tried that. its become more of a chronic thing, like sometimes I cant controll the thoughts or like I dont know how to relax. like a chemical thing
user

A chemical thing, so maybe you need a counsellor, and then he can assess your problem, and everything will be alright :)
assistant
Affirmation and Reassurance
I have one and it helps sometimes. I try to meditate
user

Yes, meditation is very good at calming down the mind. Does it help you? If it does maybe do it more continuously and more frequently

user

Not constantly. because then you won't have anytime to do anything else, but if negative thoughts always come into your head, maybe try doing something you enjoy doing
assistant
