OverNotThinking

This is just going to be a post about a single topic, which is overthinking. I am just going to discuss what happens when I go through it and how I am trying to overcome it. Overall, I would say overthinking has ruined a lot for me, ranging from missed opportunities to just ruining relationships. I know in the last post I mentioned that I was a very impulsive person, but that is something that happens every blue moon, I would say the other 90% of the time I question everything and just end up creating my own assumptions. This is still an ongoing problem for me, however, so it is not as bad I try to do some things that temporarily keep me from doing so. Some of these things would include going to the gym for a couple of hours or taking my dogs for long walks and when doing so just listening to music, taking long drives by myself, bombarding myself with lots of schoolwork or just overworking in general, shopping excessively, or just hanging out with friends. One thing I can never just do is sleep, that is the one thing that would really handle this issue, but I unfortunately do not express this special talent because my overthinking is just that bad and I hate the thought of sleeping throughout the day and missing out on doing something. Another thing that could help with this is medication because I feel like overthinking has a lot to do with anxiety, but taking medication could ruin your whole character, so I personally do not feel like that is a good idea. Anyways, these are just some things that I do to try and overcome this issue, I have not found a promising thing to do, that will keep me from doing this, however, doing these things help get me through the day for the most part.
