Over thinking thoughts

Who else over thinks a situation more than it needs to be? Well I think too much to where I feel like I have no control on how to handle certain situations in my life. Over thinking keeps me up at night. Makes me get crazy anxiety and I just don’t seem to know how to control it yet.

You have any ways or suggestions to help stop it? Happy I know I’m not alone. I just let the thoughts get to me and make me super moody

I overthink all the time. I can totally relate to this post! I overthink about my future and mostly stuff that I’m not able to control. I always try and distract myself when it brings anxiety to me. I always remind myself focus on the present and do things day by day.

It depends on what are u thinking about I guess, don't give smth more than it's real value. If it's a small problem/situation, give it less energy and less time to think about.

We can't controle everything in this life so don't be hard on yourself by reliving a situation or preparing for all the possibilities that can come at u!

If it's smth belongs to the past, leave it there and don't think about it too much.

If it's smth possible to happen in the future, think about it and have a plan b but don't over do it! Take it step by step

Overthinking is so exhausting, isn’t it? Well you’re definitely not alone. I overthink every situation in life, every thought that passes through my brain I overthink it. I have trouble finding jobs even because I’ll over think the job and all these excuses about what could go wrong. I WISH I had a suggestion for you but I’m still trying to figure how to control mine also. I hope someone gives you great advice but you are not alone!! 💛
