i overthink absolutely everything.
it is the most annoying and exhausting thing ever.
every little different thing someone does to me i immediately think they hate me or i am annoying them. i overthink about just asking someone a question or just saying anything really, what if they think it is stupid or that i am annoying?
how am i ever supposed to date someone??
when they don't text or snap me like they usually do and i instantly think they don't care or like me anymore? no boy is gonna want to put up with that? who wants to constantly have to reassure me twenty-four seven? who would want to have to calm my panic or anxiety attacks down? when i begin to shake? when my Tourette's get too loud? no one. i will be a giant inconvenience.
then i push people away or never start conversations first because i feel as if everyone around me hates me and just tolerates me as they hope i leave them alone.
i hate my mind.

Help...
So when i was 15 years old (almost 16), I used to know a girl from my middle school (i will call her Jane), we weren't friend at all, i knew her cuz of my frien...
I struggled with this too for a long time. I also have tourettes but it has got a lot better recently. Daily meditation helps me. You won't be this way forever but if you want to change you'll have to put in some work. I recommend counselling or therapy along with daily meditation, it might seem like something you don't wanna do but it makes a big difference if you can push yourself and do it everyday. Just 10 minutes even a day. The headspace app has a free trial you can try out but you won't see changes right away. Learning to not focus all your attention on yourself and instead focus on just what is happening in the moment can help you so much. Also get off social media, for real. Most people won't take that advice and I fully understand because I was addicted once too but its very toxic and very bad for mental health. You can choose to stay on it but know that it's bad for you. Very bad. Especially if you're a teenager, idk how old you are.
Good luck though,
You'll figure stuff out in time. You're on your own journey, these are just the things that worked for me. I have never felt as good as I do now that I'm away from all the toxicity and insecurity that social media creates, and I never used it that much in the first place.
Anything worth having is worth working hard for, including good mental health and wellbeing! You deserve it! :)
Replythank you so much, i truly appreciate your advice. i have actually been dying to get rid of social media because it has been draining me for quite some time now in so many different ways. it's just so hard to part from sometimes for some reason? but i do plan on getting rid of it sometime soon in the future. once again, thank you <3
ReplyThoughts, all of them including these that you just shared, come and go. What exactly were you thinking 24 hours ago?
The arrival of a thought does not make it your creation or make it automatically meaningful. All of them, the good, bad, welcomed, unwanted, helpful, and harmful, need the energy you provide to persist. They get energized when you pay attention and get supercharged when you add a dramatic story and an emotional reaction.
You are not your thoughts. You are not even mind that has these thoughts. You are the awareness that has this complicated and powerful thinking instrument that needs to be better understood and needs to be managed. You are the one who decides which thoughts are worthy of further consideration, which ones should direct your actions.
Interested in learning how to do this more effectively? I can offer some pointers that can get you started down this path.
