I know exactly what you mean Vesta, constant mental noise is a good way of putting it, I too have a continual chatter from the moment I wake up. I continually feel empty too, I have underlying sadness that won't go away. I wonder if I am depressed really, though on the face of it have nothing to be depressed about.<br />
What helps? I don't know. Yoga doesn't help, I can daydream wonderfully when I do yoga! Being with others helps, I crave being on my own and dread it at the same time. I'm at my most…

Being aware of the chatter is step one which you are<br />
Meditation where you can still your mind even briefly can help<br />
You can listen to the chatter but not be a part of it kind of like an observer or third party<br />
I’m not a day dreamer but have a non stop chattering mind and meditation and yoga help<br />
Keep busy and engage with others hard to day dream when you have to pay attention<br />
Then I tell everybody take ballroom dance lessons<br />
You have to focus so strongly there is no time for chatter<br />
Good luck…
