Overthinking
Over the past couple of weeks that I have been in quarantine I have started to really overthink and feel anxious. some days back to back I wake up feeling anxious and it just sticks on throughout the day. And the new thing my mind has started during, is make me overthink some relationships I have with people. I overthink if they actually care, if they need a break from me, if we are drifting apart, if we are going to drift apart in the furture. all of these things that I don't have the answer to and I wish it would just stop

Hello! It is nice to meet you. Thank you for sharing your problem with us, we appreciate it. I am sorry to hear that you are ovethinking to much that it brings you anxiety. It sounds that you head is full of thoughts about you relationship and it causes you anxiety. I can understand that questions about our relstionships can be hard to answer, it sometimes needs a little bit more time. Meanwhile, if you wouldnt mind, I can send you a link to relationship support community, where you maybe find your answers or support: https://www.7cups.com/home/relationships/

@smolstrawberries Hey - How are you? I think this virus thing is cauing some anxiety for alot of people. And Anxiety I'm sure is one of them. You figure in a few months time the whole world has been totally turned wacky. Our normal way of doing things is no longer normal. You probably don't get to see your friends as much which I bet probably causes you to wonder and overthink things. I often wonder if I'm being a pest to people too - which makes the anxiety worse and makes me pull back myself because I worry if I'm annoying them. You're not alone with this - there are others with the same questions and concerns - hopefully with time things will get sorted out and maybe get closer to being the way they were. I know alot of times - if I go to bed overwhelmed and overthinking sometimes when I wake I feel just as anxious - maybe there's something that you can do to calm your mind to help you relax. Meditation or guided mindfulness walks - they have them on youtube and you can lay in bed and listen to them - it might be something to think about
I'm sorry this other person left the comment they did - I'm trying to get it removed but service around here is kind of slow it seems. Please know that this is in no way a reflection of you - some people just seem to enjoy cutting other people down like that
Be gentle with yourself and your thoughts
