mind on too many things at once
When i want to concentrate, i find that my mind is thinking of too many things at once. I find myself thinking of school, friends, boys, etc. all at one time!
This is so hard when i want to study but all this stuff comes to my head! i feel like i have no control over my own mind!
what can i do to only concentrate on ONE thing?
any techniques and symptoms to why i cant concentrate on just one thing?!
THANKS

I have the same thing! It was causing me to do really bad in school, so my mom took me to the doctor and he had her fill out a survey about me. According to the results, I have ADD. They gave me a prescription for a medicine called Adderal and now i'm able to concentrate MUCH easier! Goodluck!

A lot of mood disorders have racing thoughts as a symptom, but unless you're having volatile moods I wouldn't worry about that. If you are, see a shrink.
You should relax though. Make some hot tea and focus on the tea, then put on some relaxing music (whatever you find relaxing). Which your brain focusing on tea and music you're more likely to be able to study. If that doesn't work well enough, meditate. It's very new-age, I know but meditation is a great way to zero out those thoughts. Just sit and focus on breathing and relaxing and what color is behind our eyelids.
There are also a few low-dose medications that your doctor can prescribe you to help calm those thoughts. Very low doses of Xanax, for instance. I'm on that right now. Works great, but it depends, of course, on medical history as to whether they will actually give it to you.
Try the tea and meditation first.
