Ok...hope you slept well........as far as i'm concerned, you make a great deal of sense......and that is a very tough thing to deal with, having been there myself...specially when i was younger.....you put it so well......you feel as if you've sinned before you even do anything.....and your thoughts can go wild.........and you're right again....there is no magic remedy for it.......maybe patience with yourself (try not to judge yourself so strongly)...perhaps changing your mindset from where you think you ought to be, to where you are, and go from there (for example....."i shouldnt be feeling this"...or."i shouldnt be thinking this"......and change it to....."okay...so this is what i feel/think, but i want to remember what my focus is (for example, whatever it is that you are involved in at the time....some task, perhaps).......and dont try to overpower your thoughts out of your head.....it wont work......but try to let them sort of wash over you, and then let them go...its sort of like, be aware that you are doing whatever, and then a feeling or thought comes to you....acknowledge it for what it is without all the hoopla (i shouldnt think this) and then just let it go...........it has helped me and its a meditation technique used to train the mind on how to maintain focus......and it takes practice.....like you said....there's no magic "pill" for this.......so, thats my two cents worth.......hope you find something that helps you......in the meantime, remember that hormones can play havic with ones head......no pun intended.
