Is anyone else mentally exhausted from constantly overthinking everything?
My brain is constantly working. Even when I’m sitting quietly or when there’s nothing to do, it keeps talking to me. Sometimes it judges me, like I spoke too loudly, laughed too loudly, or overshared. I start thinking about what the other person must be thinking about me. Deep down I know people are mostly focused on their own lives and probably aren’t paying that much attention to me, but still my brain keeps judging me.
When I have an argument with someone, my mind immediately starts hating that person even if it was just a small fight. I overthink so much that I start telling myself I’ll never talk to them again, or I rehearse what I’ll say if they say something back.
It feels like my brain is never quiet. It’s always occupied with one thought or another. Sometimes, when I feel an argument might happen, I back away beforehand because I know I won’t be able to tolerate it mentally. My mind will keep replaying it again and again.
It doesn’t let me relax. It feels like mental fatigue, like my mind is exhausted all the time. Even on rest days, I never truly feel fresh.
Does anyone else experience this? How do you calm your mind or stop replaying everything constantly?
