Overthinking.

[Kiran666]

Does anybody know how to stop feeling nervous and overthinking? Because it's annoying me.

I understand you trust me and well trying to watch some TV or keeping yourself active really helps

[Lisasums]

Yes me too! I understand 100%. Like Alan said keeping active and busy definitely helps me.

When my brain starts taking over I just remember to stay positive and they are just thoughts!

Try and meditate for 10 mins a day. It will be difficult at first but if you can stop your brain for 10mins a day it will get easier.

Also remember you're not alone on this, talk to us anytime because we all understand!

Overthinking is only possible with an overactive mind....

When your mind is overactive it will search for something to focus or worry about, it is just making up stories, remind yourself this an smile at the nonsense it creates...

When you find ways to be calm, like a walk in the country, it will relax and start to slow down and cease its nonsensical wandering...

This is so true. As hard as it seems, I still go through it daily too, but I find if I give the mind something to focus on, it really does help 'switch off' from the negative thinking loop. Try going for a ride, do some sudoku, even doodling on a notepad if you can't get outside. I like what STDE said, your mind will look for something to dwell on if it's not busy.

Good luck Kiran.

I know how you feel i go through it all the time, buy some chamomile tea and drink it, it calms you down.
