Advice to reduce overthinking
I am in love with my best friend and I don't think she feels the same. I don't want to lose her by asking her out and this is one reason my overthinking has increased ALOT and I am unable to eat/sleep properly. My heart keeps pounding and there's a weird feeling my stomach all the time.
Whenever she texts me, I overthink every single thing. My hard luck is that I cannot even share this with her, even though she's my best mate and she's always there for me

Overthinking can definitely amplify the anxiety, so let's take a step back and maybe consider a couple simple questions:
You deserve happiness, but risking the friendship is valid concern. Can you imagine a scenario where confessing strengthens your bond (even if not romantically)?
Gauge her interactions with others vs. you. Any subtle hints suggesting potential feelings? Remember, overthinking can distort interpretations.
Deep breaths! It'll work out as it should and I am hoping for the best outcome for you!
Just talk to her She needs to know about your feelings.
Even if it doesn't work out ull find someone better
Take a moment to reflect: Can you be around her without experiencing any awkwardness, all the while keeping your feelings unspoken? Also, consider the potential awkwardness she might feel if you choose to reveal your emotions. It's undoubtedly a delicate situation. As long as your feelings persist, your mind will incessantly spiral into overthinking, compelling you to express your true self.
