When I find myself stuck in overthinking mode, I get out of it by employing the distraction technique. I usually grab my phone to play a game or to watch YouTube Shorts. I'd go so far as to say that if it's something that a person with a short attention span would enjoy (like watching Spongebob), it'll probably help the most.

I do all of those things, and so far nothing has worked to help me out of it. It usually happens when im doing university assignments: I start overthinking abot whether I'll miss my deadline, even when I have weeks to do the assignment. I also overthink when im looking at research papers and textbooks for referable sources: "what if I'm not reading the right paper?", "What if the information I need isn't in here and im just wasting time with this one?". This makes me spiral into expecting to fail because I feel im doing things wrong or im not good enoigh to succeed. When I try to distract myself with a different activity my thoughts become "while I'm busy trying to bring myself out of this mindset I'm not busy doing my assignments, which is what I should be doing!". It goes on and on and on.

Hey today is March 22 2025
October 16 to March 7 2025

Mental stress
No inner peace
Thinking and feeling hurting



But no more

I do 2 things listening meditation
And fasting no eat a day
Stay away home and care tasks

[davidlucey]

You do great work. Thank you, Doctor. May I ask what state you work in? By the way, have you ever worked with Dr. Daniel Amen? I think you and he would make a great team.

[dtjrealmc]

This is me 100% and I cant fix it even when I see it. Nothing works

[slimgoody]

So what do you do when you acknowledge the trigger and answer those questions. The thoughts don’t go away for me. They just shift to something else to overthink about.

[ShaniquaWhipple-nn]

Me too I do it because I have issues of feeling way how to respond

[duitseles]

So it was ok when you were the pretty one?
