I just want to stop overthinking things. I feel like im different from everyone else. why do I have to overthink everything.

Your not alone there ....your right here with a bunch of us who did and still do that...and glad your sharing about it. Over-thinking was my mantra for years and years. I would exhaust my head with thinking every angle of every situation and then re-think that over and over. I just could not stop. It was just sheer insanity, I would stay up all night thinking about something that happened at work or something someone said, or what ever. It just drove me nuts. But finally....after years of this....I found out in therapy a lot of answers for why I did this, and what I can do to be okay with myself...learn to let go of things, learn to accept life isn't perfect and I have no control over people places or things. It's just not in my power to control the outcome of events, no matter how much I think about it. I was diagnosed with depression, anxiety, CPTSD, and abandonment issues. All these played a factor in my over thinking. If your not already seeing a therapist, it may help you sort out what's going on with you and how to help you.
