Sounds like you're really overthinking. I posted this the other day and have really tried to purposely cut down my worrying, limiting it to 30 minutes a day. Articles at the end of that article are also useful. I'm afraid to say it actually works, but it feels like it's working.

People have died running that course. It's no joke.

Nahhh. You're an alright gal.

Sounds like a good cardio/obstacle course workout. I think the Marines do a similar workout.

Desiderata Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their...

There's only so much time in this world. There is only so much one individual can do in a lifetime. I've dreamt of being some kind of excelling polymath. That's not happening. I need to devote as much time as possible to the few things I find most important, to the things that will allow me to...

I have a bad habit of expecting the worst and then intricately planning for it. It's gotten so bad, I don't think it's even helping me at this point; it might even be working against me. Maybe I should embrace spontaneity and the unknown more. Over-planning... just more of that dirty...

Okay... so. I think maybe I've been approaching humanity all wrong. We cannot expect our lives to be perfect. There will be mistakes. There will be betrayal, hurt, comparisons, a chance of shitty fucking relationships. But all we have is other people. Everything we consume is created by other...

I think you're being perfectly rational. I don't think your circumstances call for another huge stressor, i.e., a child. Such circumstances would not be fair to the child either. Maybe consider freezing your eggs until you are in a more stable place...

Holy flaming shit on a stick. My little experiment on overthinking is yielding results. Because I am staying vigilant, I am aware of how distracting my thoughts have been lately. No matter what I do, I am in my head. If I'm working, every 30 seconds... literally every 30 seconds, I am thinking...

I've been feeling this lately too. A slow burn of anxiety into a realm of madness. I actually feel like I'm on the verge of going completely insane some of these days. Definitely depressed. Have gotten joy out of little these past few months and especially this month. It's atrocious. You're not...

I think I agree. By denying myself reflection, am I denying myself the truth? Or denying myself potential truths that can only be gotten through reflection? And even worse, what if I am denying myself a truth that ultimately helps me in the long run, but can only be gotten through deep...

Wow, this not overthinking thing really works! Now I'm able to focus my thought energy on what is truly important in life: lollipops. Just kidding. I'm actually really depressed, that being interspersed by waves of relief that come on for unknown reasons. I have managed to not overthink for...

Dishwashing sounds like the perfect time to do that reflecting! I pushed aside my ruminations in bed last night by simply telling myself to stop thinking about things. I fell asleep within ten minutes, where usually it takes me three times as long. I think that article (though it might be one...

I just posted about overthinking on my little thread-diary thing I've got going on elsewhere on the site (be sure to subscribe, and don't forget to smash that like button). Here is the article I posted, which I found useful...

This is so accurate in my experience that it hurts: https://www.inc.com/amy-morin/10-signs-you-think-too-much-and-what-you-can-do-about-it.html There are several other helpful coping-with-overthinking articles linked to at the bottom of the article.
