Overthinking
Does anyone else ever overthink on a night time, like random questions? Like am I good enough? Why am I so messed up in the head? If I was dead would everyone have a better life? These are the thoughts I get through my head on a daily. I am at the moment on sertraline 150mg to lift my mood but don’t think that’s working as much anymore. Anyone got any coping mechanisms to stop the overthinking?
@shannonj22xoxo Thank you for sharing this question Shannon. I think overthinking is so common, but that doesn't make it any easier to deal with. Also it sounds like you have been experiencing some difficult thoughts and feelings of late. What is contributing to feeling "messed up in the head"?
Please know you are not alone in struggling with self-doubt. Many of us do.
Just have a thousand thoughts going round in my head and I just don’t feel right is what I mean by that phrase! Thank you so much for the support 🙏
@shannonj22xoxo It is understandable to feel overwhelmed when many thoughts are circulating in your mind. Please take your time to share and open about these thoughts. You are not alone in this here
@shannonj22xoxo hi I'm on sertraline too 😁 overthinking is a hard one, and at night when your mind is trying to relax, it also tends to wander into dark places. I find a night time routine helps the best, relaxing in bed with some candles, my little desk top fountain and calming lights. I also leave relaxing music on while I fall asleep. wArning! Don not leave candles lit when falling asleep! I hope this helps ❤ gives you a giant festive tiny hug ❤
I absolutely agree with you there it does❤️ I will keep trying this thank you so much ❤️
I hate overthinking. It does no good. Just leaves you drained. I like to listen to a meditation session that I get online. I hope you find a coping mechanism that works out. Best of luck.
I absolutely agree it does! I do try that and it does help at first a little, but then I just go back into overthinking. But thank you so much
First, I'd go ask a doctor about different meds.
But yes I do go through periods where overthinking is my downfall. I try to most focus on getting more sleep and that usually helps eventually. @shannonj22xoxo
Thank you so much, i will give this a try sometimes i just find it hard to sleep 😴
Me too. It can be a challenge.@shannonj22xoxo
Reading this thread at 1:15 am , It's like getting overwhelmed every night with saddness.
Yep I overthink too much too and then I have serious stress and dread at the same time
