I often feel like I cannot understand what's going on around me or I cannot think properly, though I really can. The truth is that I feel like that only when I think about it, and the problem- I think about it all the time. I belive that I am experiencing cognitive distortion. I'm not sure how I got to it -I once had a bad day, and because of the distress, I felt like I couldn't study. From there it went to my believing that I couldn't understand what's going on around me, though I really could. I just don't understand how that feeling, though completely false, could seem so real whenever I think about it. Please explain this to me. I know it's all in my mind. Please tell me how I can cognitively restructurize.(cognitve restructuring). Please tell me this as I feel like I'm in a nutshell, not allowed to live my normal happy life because of this. I need a real answer with a solution.

endless drama in your life is clouding your consciousness
too much noise is overwhelming your senses
continual input is obscuring your genuine insight
do not substitute sensationalism for learning
allow regular time for silent reflection
turn inward and digest what has happened
let your senses rest and grow still
allow yourself to let go of superficial mental chatter and obsessions
allow yourself to pay attention to the whole body's
reaction to a situation
when you have time to reflect, you will be able to see more clearly
what is essential in yourself and others
