The Problem With an Overthinking Mind 🧠

I think the hardest thing about overthinking is that your mind never really knows when to stop.

A small conversation becomes ten different possibilities.

A late reply becomes a hundred questions.

Something that happened yesterday suddenly becomes a problem you are trying to solve again at 2 a.m.

And the strange part is, sometimes nothing is actually wrong.

Your mind just keeps asking, “But what if…?”

What if I said something wrong?

What if they meant something else?

What if things change?

What if the thing I'm afraid of actually happens?

You can be sitting in a completely quiet room and still feel exhausted from a conversation that's happening entirely inside your head.

Maybe that's what makes overthinking so tiring.

The situation ends, but your mind keeps living in it. ❤️‍🩹
