I have stuffed a lot from overthinking and it comes out like a storm in the mind. It doesn't happen suddenly it happens gradually with time with one small thought, and you won't acknowledge it which causes it to grow into the thoughts of “what ifs,” and a conversation gets replayed inside the mind which is never ending and it's not only about the past it's also about the scenarios of the future.
This overthinking is not good at all it will only create stress and anxiety. This is a serious problem, I know it because I have personally experienced the same thing. All it does is drain your energy, it won't let you stay focused, and will stop you to enjoy something which you were doing in the present time. But no worries these things can be fixed as well, if you can calm your mind and try to find peace by shifting your focus on how you respond to your thoughts.
The first step is that you have to be quite and also make your mind to stay quiet, of course your mind is going to find out about what’s happening inside you. It's not easy to realize when we are overthinking instead you feel tense, restless or worried and you can't even find out the main reason for it. To find out first of all take a break and try to focus on your thoughts as they come and go. It doesn't stop completely but still you must try. All you have to do is simply notice them.
People also faces problem at being in a relationship with am over-thinker, like not everyone will understand your condition and some will misunderstand. They will feel like it's only about you and they are nothing else.
Overthinking is not going to disappear overnight, but with patience it will one day. Trust me after reducing overthinking it will create more peace in your life. Just let go of what you can’t control, and think of the present. After that your mind begins to feel lighter and you will have the chance to experience life with more calm and joy.
Just leave the negative thoughts, most of the over-thinker only thinking negative things. If you stop thinking about a negative outcome then life will become easier for you. I have done the same thing and now I don't even think of others opinion and stopped expecting things from them.
