Psychiatrist: Tells me I'm overthinking

My Brain: Let's just make sure...

[colincook]

It’s scary how much overthinking changes me. I feel like I almost have 2 versions of myself, an overthinking self, and a clear headed self. I can never really tell if I am thinking clearly or not.

I'm worrying and overthinking *AS* I'm watching this video...

Serial overthinker here. Going through a rough patch right now. My biggest advice would be: keep busy. The less you feel like doing things the more you need to keep busy and get outside of your head.

Whenever I drown in anxiety and overthinking thoughts, I avoid the things I like and even my hobbies not because I'm clouded with those negative thoughts - - I avoid them because I believe that I don't even deserve to have them in the first place because of how useless and shitty I am. Does anyone here also feel the same way?

You've literally just described my life in 7 minutes

_"Am I a joke to you?"_
~me to myself.

[elliteequine]

I don't know if anyone has ever mentioned this, but the person who narrates most of these videos has such a nice voice to listen to

[falloweden]

I have a mug that says 'just let me overthink about it'. Lol

[bug_boy]

“Do you ever think about overthinking?”

Me:
*“Wait, does that mean you think about overthinking, or you overthink about thinking, or a mixture of both, I don’t understand, do you think about thinking or overthink about overthinking, does this mean something, what kind of alternate dimension have I fallen into....”*
