Heyy... New to this! Anyone else a massive over thinker? I cant help it, I over think and analyse everything to the point of creating scenarios in my head and making everything in real life fit in to that. Im just so exhausted from this sick feeling of dread and worry and just wish I could be happy

@Lonelysoul86 yes its tough to quiet that inner voice. mine is piping up lately as i await a work court case. stressfull. its a arbitration hearing. i worked on my own and found i was constantly critiquing my work negatively never as good as anyone else. i left the job,,, was let go,,, and i find i need to find a new voice for myself. one where i celebrate myself. not a parade just a way to go a whoohoo a well thats good carry on kind of voice. its important to calm that critic and to find a friendly inner voice. start small. make notes and then challenge the critic. listen then challenge. its important to practice as your critical voice has probably been working for a long time. sit in the woods and see how trees just grow reaching for the sun . they reach around each other they dont argue they just do what they need to reach what they need. take your time and give yourself room to grow

I applied and got shortlisted to this job I have been dreaming about since long. I really want it. But they gave me a task and I'm not able to even understand it well. I still have 3 more days to figure it out but I'm so anxious and feel inadequate since it has been 3 days already and I can't even understand it. And I went through some tough times a few months ago and I feel quite lonely. I'm just anxious and miserable. Nothing is working out. I wish something would happen to make me feel better.

@rationalPond9530

hello! I understand what your going through, that feeling of finally getting what you want but dont want to screw up your chances.... have you asked anyone to help you with the project? Maybe you can ask them to be clearer on exactly they want?

@lightDrum1506 Hello. I figured out a solution myself. I sent it to them. Haven't heard back yet. I think it's a lost cause. I'll follow up with them after a few days anyway.
