Overthinking

How do you all handle overthinking?  Recently, I cannot control my brain from spiraling over something that I KNOW is not this big of a deal, but even though I realize that, my brain continues to go in circles about it and overthink.  It's cost me 3 full days of time that I could have been using for so many other things, but instead I fall into a dark mood dealing with it.  What are somethings you all have found helpful to move past things and help handle you overthinking?

@pandora10 I'm sorry to hear that you're dealing with overthinking; it can be challenging. One strategy that might help is mindfulness exercises, like deep breathing or meditation, to bring your focus to the present moment. Also, jotting down your thoughts in a journal can sometimes provide clarity. Remember to be kind to yourself during these moments. If you ever want to talk more about it or explore other coping strategies, I'm here for you 💙
