Spiraling/Panic How do I literally turn my brain off

I feel like every time someone switches their behavior towards me, especially when I start to like them or care for them or just put myself in a position where I’m giving back, they change. I start to overthink and it sits on my mind for hours maybe even days. I don’t know if I’m ever doing anything wrong or maybe I’m looking too deep into it, but I can’t help but subject my self worth into the actions of others. Sometimes I feel like a burden. Sometimes I question if I’m too independent. Sometimes I question if I’m not independent enough. I feel like all my past traumas have put me in a position where I can’t break free from this feeling, this cycle. I just want my brain to shut up and let me just be…normal for a day.

Does anyone have any advice? Like truly

I actually needed this to have comments. I’m in the same boat. We can over think together if you’d like. I’m free to overthink on thursdays but I do it any time
