Self-doubt, Overthinking, Anxiety

1 year ago · 2 · Stress, +1


266

I'm always anxious that I think I'm not doing a good job, sometimes to the point that I had dreams about it and it would wake me up in the middle of the night. I can't stop doubting myself but at the same time I tell myself I didn't make a mistake. I don't know if it is normal to overthink things and be anxious about it all day or did I develop some kind of mental illness.

    Hey, I relate to you. I overthink things a lot too and doubt myself as well. There have been many times that I have just lied in bed looking at my ceiling, thinking about everything, and then because of it all, I would start crying. Things definitely do get overwhelming sometimes. I think it is important to realize that we can't do a good job all the time. We do make mistakes. But at the same time, I honestly feel like we just need to change our perspective of everything. Maybe something seems like it was a mistake but it actually wasn't or maybe you could realize that you don't need to doubt yourself because you are doing great. Try to calm yourself and don't put pressure on yourself to do everything right. I hope this helped.
