Dwelling
As someoone with severe anxiety my brain tends to make me overthink things and dwell on things especially when I've had an embarrassing, bad, or uncomfortable interaction, how do you all manage to let things go and not dwell? Does anyone have any tips?
@SirenOfTheBrokenKind I understand how hard it can be to let go of those moments—anxiety can really amplify things that feel uncomfortable or embarrassing. One thing that helps is to try and shift focus to the present moment, maybe by practicing mindfulness or grounding exercises. Reminding myself that others are more focused on their own day helps too, they don’t dwell on our interactions as much as we imagine. Writing things out in a journal can also be a great release, letting you process your thoughts without carrying them around.
