How do you stop overanalysing? It is a question I’ve asked therapists - and my own brain - way too many times. Overthinking is, frankly, second nature to me, with even the smallest wins getting a full post-mortem before I can enjoy them. A perfectly lovely moment, a great date, a kind text, a small win at work - gets stretched, twisted, and examined from every angle until it’s been scrutinised within an inch of its life.
Was I too enthusiastic? Did they really mean that? What was that tone of voice? I can’t just let a good thing be… good.
