Hi… this is my first time posting here so I’m a bit nervous. Lately I’ve been feeling constantly anxious and stressed, like my mind never really turns off. I overthink everything — things I said, things I did, even things that haven’t happened yet. It’s exhausting and sometimes it feels like I can’t fully relax, even when I try. I also feel stuck between wanting to improve my life and not feeling good enough to actually do it. I have goals — I want to do better in school, feel more confident in how I look, and just be a better version of myself — but my anxiety and overthinking make everything feel overwhelming. There are moments where I feel motivated, but they don’t last long before I start doubting myself again. I compare myself to others a lot and it makes me feel like I’m behind or not enough. There’s also someone I like, and that adds to my stress because I’m scared of rejection and I don’t feel confident in myself. I just want to feel calm, secure, and at peace with myself, but I don’t really know how to get there or how to stop my mind from racing all the time. Has anyone else felt like this? How do you cope with constant anxiety and overthinking?
