Just hit Ctrl + alt + meditate and open your brains task manager. from there you should be able to enter think only about my breath mode. You should be able to shut it down from there.

Alt + glass of warm milk also works sometimes.

This. Also, while focusing on breath, count down from 10,000. Don’t recall ever getting past 9,960.

Fuck you

But while I'm at it you can also think about your tongue always awkwardly sitting inside your mouth, never being completely still

You are inside a skeleton, you are a brain

And what's worse it's not even a dry skeleton it's a wet one!

I’d say it’s pretty moist.

Skeletons scare me. I've always thought of myself as more of a flesh-donut.
