As a serious overthinker here (until it affects my sleep quality so badly everyday and even my work, I have something to tell you all.
Just try to find one or maybe more goals (depends on you) in your life, don't have to be as grand as possible, then just go ahead and get started with small steps, don't worry about whether it will fail or not, just think of them as experiments that can give you more positive than negative effects! (Sourced from Ali Abdaal's video)
And celebrate your small successes along the way! And don't overthink when you failed, because you still have your goal that you haven't achieved yet, just focus on the goal and the results that you could get out of it!
If the experiments really don't work out for you, change your methods, or even your goal! Don't worry about taking experiments as they are how we as humans, grow.
And finally, be patient! Accept that good things take time and effort. This is life!

Been overthinking about so many things, especially of friends hating me. Whenever I mess up I start to panic and make the situation worst that I always overthink about the bad things my friends may be saying about me. Whenever they don't respond to messages when ik they read my messages, i overthink about them talking abt me- I just remember one saying that if i did this ever again that we couldn't be friends. Due to past friend group trauma, i feel so alone and just empty that sometimes I can't do the hobbies I want to do, but I just don't have the energy to do it. It literally sucks. While i was writing this it came to the part of the video of if u know anyone that may be overthinking give them a hug tears started to run- but its making me start to realize how much i 100% related to all of this and I'm trying to understand more about myself.

What a great video! I basically stumbled across this video, because my mum is always telling me that I am overthinking things and I didnt quite understand what she meant. She tried to explain it to me, but I didnt understand and yesterday I got a new handbag which took me over an hour and a half trying to decide which handbag to buy and then when I got it home I spent about nearly 2 hours, taking the stuff out of my old handbag and making sure it all fitted neatly in my new handbag and how I wanted it in which I did eventually get there but today I spent another two hours grabbing my new handbag and checking that it was how I wanted it. I suffer with mental health problems and every single thing that was said sums me up as all of those things I do. I dont know how to stop it.

Sometime we are caught up in situations whereby the only person who understands yourself is you, that moment when you keep on reading the old memories in your mind day and night. that time when when you can't sleep and when you sleep you become so afraid knowing well that when you wake up in the morning the same momories will be in your mind, your appetite goes away, your interest in thing you used to love goes away, and the worst part is that you have already created a negative mindset that you will forever feel that way and if someone asks what the problem is you even yourself don't know. that moment when you feel like your brain isn't with you, when you see and imagine things that are not there, that moment when you feel that you have completely gone mad

vent: my biggest fears are prominent in relationships (abandonment and rejection)
i've been connecting with a new guy more lately and i've been in a constant loop of thinking about him, worrying about the relationship, wondering the next time we'll hang out, hyper-worried things will end
ive made a lot of progress and im so glad to be able to learn and work on so much in this relationship, ive identified co-dependent behavior, attachment issues, anxiety triggers, other emotional triggers, coping methods, etc.
- meditation, reflection, thinking, healing, growing, researching, learning -
so i would love to expand my knowledge on overthinking because it seems like something i will benefit from

I dont know that Im anxious, stressed, or over thinking.
Story: so Today at school while I was doing work I was overthinking that I ran out of the classroom. When the teacher saw me run out she came out and told me what happened? and I was just sitting outside crying. She was trying to comfort me, but I could not stop crying. When I stood up she gave me hug, and that helped me. And when she hugged me I put my head in her shoulder crying: -(

Has anyone here ever been caught in a situation whereby a thought classes you mind eg am not happy and the that though keeps of coming back each min and finally you stop being happy and even if you try to force yourself out of that thought it never goes away. that is when you start panicking and then it becomes like a habit when you can't help the fact that you will wake up in the morning and have the same thoughts all day

It's always good to analyse an issue or situation to get the best solution. BUT. in my opinion the most effective and simple sign that you're overthinking, is that the thinking gets you nowhere and doesn't actually solve the issue, basically getting you in an analysis paralysis that gets you nowhere.
But if the analysing gets you a solution, or makes things better, then you're not overthinking

Overthinking is both a blessing and a curse. As pointed out in this video (and several other resources that peddle the same ideas/messages, overthinking can impair one's focus and hinder productivity but contrary to popular belief, it's not ALL bad. For starters, overthinkers generally tackle adversity with calculated steps and back-up measures in place if anything goes awry.

Say and think.
I often ask myself questions like why am i walking like this or why am i talking so loudly, it is really stressful having to think about every action to take. how can i stop this?

When I think I get sad and when I get sad I stress, and when I think about it I over think it. I cant help the feeling of thinking of my emotions killing my mood when it comes to talking to my friends and me trying to focus on doing my work. I just wish I can stop overthinking stuff that wont happen even though I get scared to believe it can happen

I thought I was being cautious and careful, not realizing I was actually overthinking. It has caused me a lot of problems at work, including low productivity and neglecting other important details.
