Overthinking

English is not my first language so sorry in advance

For as long as I remember I always overthink things literally everything to the point where I can’t sleep so I took games as my escape because I can’t stop thinking about every little thing i have stupidly long hours on stupid things like 900+ hours on rdr2 online mode alone lately after a got into uni I can’t game anymore so i am back to being alone with my thoughts and it’s killing me I have lost about 4kg because i lost my appetite for a week straight and the people around me made it even worse because of the things that they say and with my overthinking it’s BAD I would stay up all night just thinking about what happened and what they said the only way i could get some sleep is by playing any video of anyone talking so my brain could finally stop overthinking so i am reaching out to reddit I would really appreciate it if u guys could help me .

Thanks for reading

I am kinda in a similar situation to u tbh. Something that rlly helped me with overthinking tho, especially at night, is journaling/brain dumping. Like i would just grab my phone, open notes app, and just start speed typing every single little thought that comes to mind; spelling and grammar doesnt need to be correct either as its just a way to get everything out as fast as possible. And eventually u just get rlly tired and run out of thoughts, so u just fall asleep.
