"I used to. I trained myself out of it though." Hi Nelly, was there a particular technique you used to do this? X | |||

"Overthink things, like really overthink things?" Not at all  | |||

"Sometimes. I was awful for it a few years ago now. But I'm learning, slowly, to recognise and accept that it's more likely to happen when I'm in a low energy phase (a drop/hormonal changes) and not beating myself up about it nor allowing my mind to run free. Sometimes you need a friend to call you a nob and tell you they still would. That really does stop overthinking." I’ve text a mate who I no suffers exactly the same, and she’s just screened the messages | |||
"Overthink things, like really overthink things?" All the time, but mainly work stuff, with life in general I just try and go with the flow | |||

In the gentlest way, other people don't have to be there for you - they might not have the headspace/energy/desire or ability to be. Why not be your own friend? Look in to practicing mindfulness - being present in the moment can really help stop the background noise of overthinking. There's also meditation, it can help centre the chaos of your mind. You can allocate yourself a set time to ruminate on things and then move past it. Forget it. Occupy yourself with things that raise the dopamine level. | |||

"Overthink things, like really overthink things?" I've been thinking about this for the last 13 hours since you posted this and......nope....still undecided on my answer. I'll come back to you next week. OK? A | |||

"Always, dunno if it's a bad thing though because I've essentially run through and stressed about every scenario in my head, so when something happens I've already overthought it and can handle it easier. Gives me gift of the gab so to speak and has helped me many times in job interviews because I'm never caught out by a surprise question I haven't already thought about 50 times "Brilliant.  | |||
"I used to. I trained myself out of it though. Hi Nelly, was there a particular technique you used to do this? X" Mindfulness excercises and generally being more aware of my thoughts, taking a step back and asking "is this actually helping?". It takes a lot of practice but it's achievable. Listening to audiobooks keeps my mind focussed on something external and breaks the pattern of getting lost in a whirlpool of over-analysis. | |||

"Overthink things, like really overthink things?" Gonna give this a think over. I'll let you know when I'm done... | |||

"Overthink things, like really overthink things?" Quite litterally all I do. Am really good at overplaying my significance in people's lives which is an excellent way of hurting yourself | |||
