Here's how I cope:
Focus on the now. Here you are. Here is the desk you sit at. Here is the keyboard in front of you. All these thoughts that rush endlessly through your head are simply thoughts. They belong to you, but they are not you. You are more than your thoughts. You are a human being.
You can do anything you put your mind to, but you can only do one thing at any one time. It doesn't matter which one you choose. You have permission to do any one of the things you want to do.
I find that the best things for me are those that require my brain to shift to the unspeaking side. The one that can't articulate anything. It watches, it moves. It knows, and it can't express itself in abstract ways. Drawing, doodling, making clay figures.
I don't know if that helps you, but I sincerely hope it does. I don't know if you pray, or if you are receptive to the idea, but I shall pray for you.
Whatever you choose to do, try not to worry about it. Worry doesn't add a single day to your life, and it robs you of the now.
