My mind is always racing with thoughts. What should I do?

Try calming yourself down, Meditate, do some yoga, listen to some calming music or do something fun, that you don't need to think about.

Majority of people ,who suffer from mental illnesses in particular ..get to have their thoughts running in their heads that can get uncontrollable and persistent , specially before sleeping..These uncontrollable unpleasant thoughts are called " Thought loops " that continues running from a point and then getting back to that point like a cycle...Trying to listen to music , or reading a book , watching something , can decrease the thoughts , or just speaking with someone at these moments can help...And If the " Thought loop " occurred specifically before sleeping , getting up and doing something else would help , and after a short amount of time getting to sleep might work..

Sometimes writing all your thoughts down in a journal helps to slow down all the thoughts in your head. Next time you feel your thoughts racing, find a quiet place, take a few, deep breaths, and write it all down. Then, you can reflect more easily on what you've been thinking about.

For immediate, short-term relief try a breathing exercise like square breathing. For long-term relief try building a daily mindfulness meditation practice. With regular practice it has been shown to reduce stress, anxiety and depression.

Mind is always going to be racing with thoughts, its designed that way, what we can do is clear the thoughts, focus more on positive, kind, productive thoughts to overcome untoward situations, that way you won't feel the mind is stressed, you'd be rather surprised how beautiful the mind is!!

Talk to someone who I feel comfortable talking to. Someone who can understand me and how I feel. Get everything that's bothering me off my mind.

You can try yoga! Or take a deep breath, think of what exactly that is filling your brain, and figure out how to calm yourself down!

My mind also races a lot. Especially when I want to sleep. So I created a place in my mind that I go to when I want to sleep. It's a bit like meditation. I visualise myself falling through my bed and layers of clouds and then landing in this place I created. Usually I fall asleep before I can even start exploring the place. Just meditate. It helps.

Write them down if you really want to see them clearly. It will help you see everything that you're thinking, and it can really help you understand what you're thinking

Well, they always say that you should distract yourself. Find something that will derive you from your deep thoughts. But remember, distracting is not permanent. I think it's just a way for us to cope uo with it. I think it would be better if we just let it happen. Perhaps, embrace these thoughts? Write it out. Paint it. Sing it. Dance it. Nurture it until you realized you just made a garden.
