Over thinking honestly takes such control of your life sometimes, but now that I've dealt with it so much and just about done most of the things in this video, mostly from learning on my own cause I got to the point of my over thinking where I needed medication for how I was thinking cause I also had some mood swings. Besides that though, over thinking has definitely made me think more toward situations where I should think more, sometimes I also have the issues of not thinking before which has mostly caused my over thinking through the years I think. But now I notice a lot more when people are lying to me online because I can say what they did before toward a lie, sometimes I am still wrong and there not lying to me but having the thought of this has helped me so much during issues where before I would over think after on the situation because I was the one continuing whatever argument, now I know when to just be quiet and ignore them. It doesn't matter what they think, it matters what I think about it.

If you are suffering from overthinking about past i can understand you it makes you exhausted and you cant get rid of it the worst part is as much as you trying to stop it you getting even worse. Its the endless thing. Personally for now i cant get rid of it completely but the way of ending this is understand yourself and the situation that you were in you shouldn't think that it happened you should think about the solution and find the way how to counter it and the other bad things about it in the future. I know its hard thing to do this but its better then suffering from pain that ruins us and remember nothing goes forever except time

these weeks i couldn't just stop overthinking, but this one is extreme, i always overthink when i motivate myself, and it doesn't matter me, but when simply i hear something that i had the words to motivate to prove it well, i forget those words and then my mind starts a horrible vortex of overthinking, it's like this wrong thought i heard has no solution though i now i have it in mind, and it straggles for the right words to say about it. and i start doubting myself and feel scared of this that might be true though i know it not.

So much easier said than done. It is not as easy as the video makes it sound. If you start to overthink, chances are you'll continue to and despite trying to stop, it doesn't work (Coming from personal experience. If you have a hard time with overthinking, and have for a long time, you can't just save thoughts for your thinking hour. it just doesn't work that way. Distraction does not work either.

I can relate to nearly all of them. The best thing I do when I overthink is when I start to overthink, I open up a notebook and start writing down what Im overthinking about. Basically mental dumping it on to the paper. I write down anything until I cant think of anything else. Then I put that sheet in a binder and I eventually look at it. And theres times I even scratch out items on that list.

Thank you for making this video! Psych2Go has been my free therapist since the last few years, their tips always help me figure things out and correct my behaviour. Also, I would love to see a video on the Vicious Cycle of Procrastination and how to overcome it. I've been facing this since the last few years and even when I almost get over it, it sucks me right into that vacuum again.

You can think about that later. For now, lets finish these Chemistry formulas.

I can only overthink when I have the correct guidance in place for my logic such as when Im further developing on an existing concept! Sometimes it allows me to convince myself to avoid taking the more enjoyable public transport route to my destination and to take the shorter one! :)

Thank you for your amazing content! Your content is so accurate and I'm sure, to be helpful! Ps, the only movie I know that phrase from is a mini movie of Kung Fu Panda (I know, embarrassing) not the original movie to come up with the line, I'm sure! Anyway, keep up the good work!

This has plagued me my from adolescence till now and it's one of the reasons I get burnt out. I overthink things to the point my body forces itself to sleep when my thoughts start to wander into an endless stream and I end up blacking out from the stress of overthinking

I want to see a video about self-pity. Currently I am going through an absolute burden to continuously self pity which caused me a lot of trouble. And I am currently hurt heavily emotionally.

How likely is that the worst case scenarios in my head will come true in the future?
very likely
Because when I thought they are unlikely in the past, they always became reality.

Im struggling so much with overthinking every day. The tip that helps me the most is either keeping myself busy or try to relax. I mostly overthink when Im alone aswell.

My problem is that it feels like theres nothing that can distract me, and I am constantly in my head 24/7 and when I try to suppress my overthinking it makes it worse.
