Hi u guys I'm 31 and in 2011 I lost my children. And ever since then i have been deep in depression. But I also was teased by everyone face to face and on line that drove me to use durgs now I'm always thinking I can't control it this gose on for hours I find myself thinking or talking in my head. Even when I'm sleeping even, when I'm alone my husband notice me doing this. I can't control it this started when I lost my kids and was teased. Is this mental illness or trauma.

    It's both mental illness and trauma. The emotional trauma of losing your children and being teased brought on the depression. Depression is a mental illness. It's normal to have racing thoughts if you have depression. If you aren't already getting help for the depression or the drug use, you should talk to a doctor or therapist.

    If you find yourself thinking negatively and can't really seem to control it, try doing light physical exercises like jumping jacks. Try focusing on counting as you do them. Sometimes you can get some relief from racing thoughts by shifting your attention to something that's more demanding, but isn't mentally taxing. Even if it doesn't work well, the after affects of exercising can boost your mood.

    Another good thing to do is to write down what you are thinking. Just write it as it comes to you. Whatever it is. You can throw the paper away when you are done if you want, or delete it if you want to type it out. No one has to see it. Save it if you want too. It's a good way to get thoughts out of your head.

    I think you might just be in a deep depression, assuming this started directly after you lost your children
