I struggle when I stay in a room alone with my thoughts. I start feeling heat in my head and desperation starts to kick in even though it's not physically painful. It's such a strange thing, my mind just wants to be distracted, kind of like a substance addiction. I've never taken it seriously to further investigate what's going on in there. I wonder if others experience something similar? I can tolerate a few minutes before my mind starts to wander and before I know it I am no longer in a room doing nothing, but engaged with a screen.

Makes me feel like I have no free will.

Force yourself to sit in silence and meditate. There is no easy solution. Just do it.

You are addicted my friend. I'd suggest some sort of anti addiction therapy.
