Stop saying you're crazy. You need to take a break and then you need a routine. Regarding routine: 1. Create a WEEKLY schedule, like a school schedule, that you repeat every week. (Search 'mangaka schedule' for an extreme example.) Keep it visible (e.g. computer/phone wallpaper). The more routines the better. Remove unpredictability. Eat and sleep at the same times. Put them on the schedule. Establish a healthy, simple go-to meal to make or buy for each meal of the day. Put them on the schedule. Put "free time" blocks on the schedule. Check your email and messages at the same times each day and put them on the schedule. This will help structure your thinking. 2. Establish a goal, such as learning to code a language. Find a recommended means to accomplish it that you're comfortable with and stick to it. Set a low-bar of entry. 30-min of coding study/work a day. Do not let yourself do more even if you want to until you have a couple of weeks under your belt and no longer hesitate to do it each day. (This point will come.) To aid this, create a tally. For every 30-min block you do, mark it off. This is a visual reminder of your progress.

If you can't concentrate, you have to reduce your caffeine to black or green tea. Make it tasty enough that you'll actually drink it. Do not try drinking coffee again until you have an established routine. If you smoke, this is obviously also causing your thoughts to ping-pong. 4. Most important is fitness. People think fitness is for your body, but it's primarily for your mind. Fitness will help you learn how to structure your life by rewarding you with dopamine hits, less stress, more energy, calmer thinking, reduced insomnia, and a better body. This usually starts kicking in after three visits. Don't think too hard. Find a recommended routine online, join a gym, and stick to it. And, put it on the schedule. Also, walk everyday, such as to the gym. Have a destination. Use music/podcasts/audiobooks if it helps. LASTLY, DO NOT USE THE GODDAMN INTERNET WHILE YOU ARE COMMITTING TO A BLOCK ON YOUR SCHEDULE UNLESS IT'S A FREE BLOCK. For what it's worth, I'm 36 and am more productive and creative and in better shape than any other point in my life.
