For me it's not anxiety (although I have certainly dealt with that). My brain is just always on as long as I'm awake. Shifting from topic to topic. And if something is on my mind, even if it's not bad or anxiety inducing, it just doesn't go away until my subconscious decides to move on or I find some way to distract myself.

The only thing that stops this is weed. I gives me some peace and quiet inside my head. It's p. sweet.

I feel this big time. I go to sleep with an audiobook on, so I have something to focus on. Otherwise, it takes me forever to sleep, because my brain keeps distracting me
