I’m so sorry you are having a bad day ... my brain never turns off all my thoughts either ... it’s the worst feeling in the world. I hope you can find a favorite tv show or maybe get out of the house ... anything to help take up some of your thoughts..

Getting into the flow of something is a great "off" switch, if just concentrating your "brain energy" on something else for a while and giving you a break. I like to do art studies when my brain acts up, since they force me to be very focused and I enjoy doing them. Some short exercise is also good, a walk, a jog, going out to breathe or staying in to do some sit-ups. Good tidings to you, friend.

Rough day for me as well.. being a truck driver my mind gets the best of me.. I hope this all goes away for me

I’m glad you’re hanging in there. I hope tomorrow will be a better day for you, friend.

You can use Zyprexa to switch off our brain while sleeping if your mind is actually going a hundred miles an hour during sleep when using other sleep inducing medication. However, it can have side effects. It will make you gain weight, which might lead to diabetes. Fortunately for me, it only made me gain weight (20 lbs) when I did use it and I didn't become a diabetic.

If you are talking about an off switch just to get through the day (work or otherwise), I don't have an answer for that. You would have to wait for your anti-depressants to kick in if you are taking them.
