This topic reminded me of what had happened to me recently. I have been facing a kind of difficulty for some time now which has been giving me sleepless nights. I had tried to call myself but then my business wouldn't allow me. I go to the shop as early as 7 after preparing my kids for their school.

Stress and overthinking is not just worth it, but that's what I have been passing through for sometime now. Finding a way to suppress has been my priority. I have tried several ways, but the more I tried the more the thinking kept resurfacing. Two weeks ago, I received news from someone who died due to stress and overthinking. It's overwhelming and alarming in recent times when it comes to the issue of BP.
I met a friend and some other people seated. I told them about my recent experience related to my health. One of them said you have to visit the hospital for medication. Another one said I was experiencing BP. I have not experienced it in my life, but then their little advice and words put another fear in me. I tried to balance myself, but I was not able to ask a result of the fear I had inculcated.
After getting home, my husband had come back from work as it was a weekend. I related everything to him. He told me that what I was experiencing is nothing other than BP. He said I should not think of what had happened and should try as much as I can to erase anything called thinking from me. He gave me better advice on how to get relieved from my predicament without medication. I told him what a friend had said to me about visiting the hospital for a medical check-up. His version of explaining things to me changed. He said the only solution is to rest and sleep to my satisfaction.
Meanwhile, I have been finding it difficult to sleep as a result of overthinking. He said if I visit the hospital, the doctor will recommend a drug which will suppress the overthinking leading to BP. He explained further that if I starts taking the drugs, it will become part of me and anytime I did not take it, my body will not balance and I will begin to have that same thinking. He advised me to sleep on my own without the help of any BP drug. That week, he took me for outings. I saw so many things that revived my soul.
We had a good time together. This alone erased some aspects of overthinking from me. I slept so well that night and woke up late. Again, my daughter was helping me to stay in the shop so as to relax my head. I started sleeping so well since my daughter started staying in my shop.
Sometimes, it is not just visiting the hospital, but having to do what can relieve you is the best. Taking medication all the time can sometimes be dangerous to the health, as it may become part of you. Been addicted to it can not sound so well.
