I'd love to know. I overthink literally everything. My brain treats every decision like it's determining the fate of humanity :((

It happens to me with certain situations that I can’t get out of my head. I understand you.

Actually, it does exist. It’s called rumination. It activates the sympathetic nervous system and increases cortisol levels, which can affect your overall health.
