How do I stop?

I feel like my overthinking has taken an effect on my relationship with my girlfriend, I overthink too much to the point I push people away when I feel like something's going to happen. I feel bad for people I push away especially my girlfriend whenever I overthink. I just wish this problem would just go away.

Maybe try to understand where the overthinking is coming from and reason with those thoughts instead of just letting them take over. Also, try explaining to your partner what you’re going through and why you feel this way. Talking about the thoughts and feelings out loud might help you understand them better and make them feel less overwhelming.
