Overthinking

[guitaristepiphone]

Many times I overthink for half day just sitting and rarely whole day. Why is this happening? 10 min meditation helps but lasts only for 2 to 3 hrs. Yesterday, tried to sleep at 12 am but continued overthinking until 3:30 am. Slept at around 3:30 am and woke up at 8:12 am when again overthinking started and had to rush for toilet. just laying in bed and recalling all the past things and I could have done this differently that differently. If this had happened I would have been not like this. I was to be caught by parents while watching po*n. Wish I hadn't taken mobile and or or received mobile. Etc etc..... billion things!! Mostly about past and some about future. I will end up like this like that. I will become worse. Etc. This has become an automated procedure.😣😞 I try to alter it but years of automation got the better of me. Help!

Overthinking is a problem that people with anxiety suffer the most from.

Anxiety uses your past as a weapon.

That's probably because of some trauma you suffered from and never really healed from it. Overthinking is basically like picking at a scab.

The past is the past. No matter how much time you give this, still doesn't change it. I don't say it without understanding. I know what it's like to lay in bed and ruminate on my life. Things I wish I haven't done, chances I should have taken and ooh the regrets. Regrets are the hardest thing to get over.

But like with anything, it takes training to stop the ruminating thoughts. It's difficult but with the right counselor it can be done.

Maybe even try write out your thoughts that bounce around in your head. I have a journal by my bed to write down these thoughts that plague me.

Also may I suggest Dare: a new way to end anxiety by Barry McDonagh. It's a book and an app.

Wish you peace of mind and healing 🫂❤️
