Thanks for the ideas. I feel worse than I did two days ago. I feel more like a failure. I feel really weak physically which is from limiting my food intake. It's really all my fault. I shouldn't even be complaining. I have brought it all on upon myself.

Even though it seems ridiculous and pointless at first, the distraction can help to refocus your thoughts and bring your mind to the present. I think there's also a theory that the eye movements help to stimulate parts of the brain too.(?) Anyway, I've often found this enough to snap me outa that trance - its all about 'starting the ball rolling'.
