I feel like I can't be myself anymore. I can't stop thinking about ______. What can I do?

Try to engage yourself into some other work, the one you love. You can have some friends to talk with, you can have silent time to figure out whats actually going with you and how to deal with the. You will definitely get a solution.

Find something else to do. Do you play a sport or like to play a video games? If so glad do that take a chill pill maybe watch Netflix and if your still worried then try to rationlse whatever is going on.

I understand that sometimes thoughts can be so consuming! We can often ruminate on things, over and over again, until it's almost like we are beating a dead horse! Sometimes rather than fighting it, it's best if you can just embrace whatever it is that's making you feel the way you are. You'll find yourself moving through it faster and easier. Keep yourself busy by doing things you love!

People do change and if it helps, perhaps try writing out your thoughts or even talking about your thoughts online or out loud. It may help you get it off your chest and well, make it less jumbled for you to think about.

just focused on something you like to do and then the pain of things might go away and that's how you stop thinking of things

When ever I lose sight of myself I take time out from life and sit by the water so I can respect the importance of my own happiness

Distract yourself from those things and people who make you feel bad about yourself. Its okay to change,people change for good, if you feel you are not yourself anymore, try to find the cause

It's hard to get over someone you cared deeply about, but with support of family, friends, or even us listeners we can help you get through it together. From my experiences I stopped thinking about a person after having fun with friends or distracting myself with things I find fun like video games, drawing, singing, and dancing around in my room while listening to semi-loud music. Do what you think is fun, do what you can to benefit yourself and love yourself! We all here at 7 cups of tea love you! - Ari

I understand how you feel.You should relax.Take your time to understand your situation for only you are truly the one who could solve this

When I was first diagnosed with my chronic illness, I felt like the person I used to be was completely gone. I couldn't stop thinking about all the things I could no longer do, and it felt like my identity was entirely erased. What helped me was gently shifting my focus from what I lost to what I could still control. I started exploring new hobbies, like painting and audiobooks, which didn't drain my physical energy. It takes a lot of time and self-compassion to grieve your old self, but you can build a new, meaningful version of yourself. Please be patient with your mind and body as you navigate this transition; you are still in there, just adapting.
