I’ve always struggled with that. Whenever I allow my mind to idle, I start thinking about random stuff, and inevitably my childhood trauma comes up. Then I enter a downspiral that’s hard for me to escape.
I think you’re falling into the trap of doing things for the sake of doing things because you can’t be alone with your thoughts, but most people can’t continue doing things without rest eventually, so you can’t keep on doing things for the sake of doing things but have to eventually stop which forces you to be alone with your thoughts.
But I think you already know this. Sorry for not being more helpful.
