I need a distraction always
When I’m alone my thoughts are like very depressing and put me in a place where I’m all sad and go into numbness. So I always look a Movie or Show when I’m alone that distract me from it. It needs to be loud in my area, the silence is not good for me. So I’m always around my family and go with them to my aunts or uncles. The point is i need someone at my side or so ring loud next to me. That distracts me from my own thoughts.
I used to feel the same way. Our thoughts can attack us in negative ways sometimes. So I journal everyday and pen poems, apart from studying. These activities help me stay sane and occupied. I hope you find hobbies and interests that will help you steer clear of depression and numbness. Love and respect.
Thank u! I have some hobby’s actually but those aren’t really helping in a way. But I hope in the future, I can fight against my thoughts and be positiv!
Stay hopeful and carry on! Love and respect.
i understand how you feel, i've been listening to a lot of mostly instrumental music for my coping mechanism towards unwanted thoughts. i find that it helps me with focusing on my tasks and helps my mind not wander and think about other things that i currently dont want to process
do try and keep the volume at a reasonable level though, i can personally say that hearing damage is no fun

Popping into share that you're not alone. I'm facing the same issue - I have multiple distractions around me (hopping between apps, taking walks every hour (else, i'll slump in bed the entire day doomscrolling), running youtube videos in the background as I attend lectures...
If you have tips on how to cope, please do share :)
Since I made the post, I feel better and my thoughts get a little bit positive. I distracted me with watching shows and played videogames. And my family distracted me too from the thoughts, so I wasn’t focused on the negative thoughts. But tomorrow I start working so means that I don’t think about those thoughts that often than before.
