I can't stop Overthinking.

[Suresh80]

Throughout my life, I have always been overthinking of situations which never happened. This reduces my focus , my emotions keeps constantly changing like from happiness to sadness, from confidence to anxious and so on.

How do i stop living like this? I want to tour the world, meet new people and enjoy the life. All these years i have learnt nothing, no adventures etc. I did go on adventure trips, but i could not enjoy them because i was nervous of interacting with others and focused on not losing my stuff. I lie down and cry about the miserable life i am currently leading. Sometimes, i want to take away my life so i could rest in peace and a burden would be lifted from everyone with having me around.

I have lost interest in life, i do not know what i want to be, and i do not know what my passion or ambitions is?

If this is life, why should i be alive. I am just a matter occupying space which could be put to meaningful use. I want my life to end soon. Even to God, i pray to him to please take me away from this place.

seek counselling or psychiatrist to help better understand yourself and find coping techniques. Here is also safe place.

Trying new t try things new music on YouTube or new books and self help books to find ways towards getting the interest back in your life.

The first thing I want to tell you is that you are 22 you do not need to have it all figured out. You are so very young. Right now you need to focus on yourself and getting yourself in a better place. The rest will follow. Are you able to get a therapist? That would be the first step. If not, then try to find some good resources online. Please show yourself grace. It will be ok.

I agree with the others. I don't really have much more to add.

It's all up to you to make his a good life. What you are doing, or not doing, isn't working right now.

The world has so much to offer you, please don't give up.

I am 29 and in some ways I am in the same boat Suresh80 I feel like I honestly know nothing. I have been seeing a therapist for 6 months now and in a way it has helped and hopefully it gets better after seeing a psychiatrist for some possible medication....I am hoping it helps me to not feel so nervous, worried, fearful throughout the day...which I feel almost every day and it is not healthy. I still beat myself up because I feel like I am in the same place I was a year ago and know I need to get a new job but...I don't know why I don't want to put in the work.
