Lost in my thoughts

There has been multiple occasions where I would lay down on my bed wide awake, I can't sleep because I spend to much time thinking about the worst possible incomes I get so much fear and anxiety and my boyfriend will always help me calm down but it's never enough.. He tells me I'm going to be okay and that he is here but is he actually? Will he stay by my side or am I just overthinking these things? I don't know how to stop myself from thinking these things so much stress I'm putting myself in and the amount I cry is just so much sometimes I can cry for hours just getting anxious about these things how do I stop overthinking so much? I want to smile but I find no reason to do so.

That is a tough answer because I too, don't sleep very well, and think at least part of it has to do with how my thoughts are almost always on things I don't understand but wish to. I overanalyze, but it has helped me in the past and present, to come up with a point of view or thought that helps me get through, and having different points of view is why a lot of people have called me smart. It does have pros and cons. I'm willing to wager that you are a very intricate person in regards to other people. I suppose I don't have any good answers for you as my answer to not wanting others deal with my depression and other issues, was to stay away from friendships and relationships. I'm still alone today maybe I can change it, but my doctor at the VA does not like my lack of optimism, brought on by past experience and over analyzing what could happen. The very least I know what you you're feeling, but it's cool that you have somebody now, some relationships don't last forever as people grow during their lives, but cuddle and snuggle with your boyfriend when you can, and hopefully no matter what, you will always have someone to help you even if they're just your regular friend. You could try some calming exercises or meditation with your boyfriend that might help to, but so far I have not been able to stop my mind from analyzing the way it does, but can distract myself with a smile by thinking of a memory was warm and fuzzy, like making cookies with my mother when I was young, or an old friend that was just as good at humor as I was. Hopefully somebody can give you both of us good tips on over analyzing, but if not don't curse yourself over it,

Oops hit the wrong button I'm not used to these phones, I'm used to a flip phone. Do your best and don't overthink it but even if you do, you might overanalyze the road in front of you and find a path that will assist you from then on not hinder. please get some rest, and have a lovely day!
