I wish I could just let go of my thoughts of the past and move on.
Anxiety Support / by lookingforpeace987

...See more The only way I move on from one worry nowadays is by worrying about another thing. I overthink and go through this downward spiral thinking that what happened in the past can come back to haunt me and ruin my life, when in reality I honestly probably don't have much to worry about. I wish I could just stop thinking about the past and just worry about other things like my class that I'm taking right now or just enjoy the time I have with my family and friends rn. But instead my thoughts keep me distracted and worried about my future and anxious about the past. I know I can change my actions moving forward so I have less regrets, but how can I stop pondering on the past and just move on? It's hard to be motivated to try new things and to get out of that downward spiral once it begins. I just want to know how you guys get motivated to stop your anxiety and what methods help you stay distracted but also move on.
