I tend to overthink way to much that I make myself physically sick. My body gets very weak, I get nausea, my stomach acts up and when these symptoms start to happen to my body I overthink even more that "oh great I'm developing some kind of sickness" and then I start to get very very paranoid. I'm Healthy as of right now but my mind goes but "what if."Those what if thoughts make me sick literally, idk how to get a grip. So I throw myself into a panic that I can't control.
I'm sorry if I'm sounding ridiculous.
I feel so stupid right now and very anxious too.
I pray those out there suffering real physical health issues to get better soon.
I'm sorry if I'm being stupid.
I just wanted to vent and express how I'm feeling.
Sorry. ๐

It dosent sound stupid at all, its what we all go through to different degrees. We overthink and that causes more anxiety and the more anxiety makes us overthink . You have to learn to break the cycle when the first anxiety comes, just let it be, let it run its course no matter how scary or uncomfortable. It cant get worse with acceptance it can only go down, we make it go up by our thoughts. Im saying all this for myself too because i had kind of a crappy day also
Thank you for the encouraging words, when my mind gets loud with overthinking I lose sight of how to handle it. I become a hot mess but your right! Thank you I appreciate the kind words and I hope you have a better day tomorrow. ๐
Your right my faith has gotten me through so much! I'm only human but I need and want to be stronger and better spirituality and mentally. Thank you for replying! ๐
So true, I was nervous trying to join even online support groups cause of my Anxiety. But it's nice to know I'm not alone in my struggle. NOT that I want anyone to struggle in the first place! Or me struggling either!
Just knowing that while in the struggle, there is support from understanding people. ๐
I have a very similar story to yours. Doctors have clear me of everything. Im making myself sick. I overthink too. Cant stop it either and dont know how to heal. Wish I could be of better help. You are not alone. Keep writing and share how you feel. This is a great community.
I overthink a lot too. I think a lot of us on this site do. When I catch myself over thinking (which is really the same thing as worrying) I distract myself with something because over worrying doesn't accomplish anything. But you're not alone.
I can relate. Thank you for sharing. Lots of us are right there with you. I have GAD, recently unemployed, and recently off the SNRI Cymbalta. The anxiety wakes me up in the morning with waves of burning dread and worry. It is hard to get out of it. Sometimes I have an unwanted thought and am trying to disagree with myself like with CBT. I think it can help some but isnโt a magical cure.
Thank you, makes me feel less alone!But at the sametime I pray nobody has to keep going through all of these mental health disorders. I hope one day each of us can overcome our anxiety issues and maintain it better then we do now. But we all are trying really hard and we can't quit. I'll be praying and hoping. ๐
Well we are a pair! I was just in hospital Monday with stress induced gastritis which caused me to have an anxiety meltdown ever since. Cant eat fear panic they gave me stomach stuff and 1 mg ativan and within 15 min I was fineโฆ.well until it all wore off. So now on stomach medication and started an antidepressant as its so bad I cant work. Been 6 miserable days of pure hell. I have listened to monk music, positive affirmations, releasing fear and anxiety, walking. Mornings are the worst. It amazes what a brain can do to a body.
