This week it's sharing stories. I'd like to invite you to share a time of difficult mental health; past or present, yours or someone else's. We know there was a stigma to sharing, but the fediverse is open, caring, and listening and it's 2024

Sitting yourself gives you time to think and over think.

Stupid autocorrect 🤪 let's just say I didn't say sitting but yes your right

I wasn't sure and didn't want to assume!!!

I'm a worrier and over thinker so I would be the same!! Thats probably why my post isn't as detailed!!!

Overthinking is what I got diagnosed with odc over. I learned to use it as a weapon.

Channeling that twisted single mindedness to something good.

Gor me it was hyperfocused on the negative and redirecting it to passing all my uni exams and then work.

I still have bad periods but I try to use that energy to help my situation these days

Every minute I don't delete that lot I'm taking as a win

That sounds like a great way to channel your over thinking energy!! Wish I could do that!!!

It's a skill that needs practice that's for sure. Works really well for project work. Sadly I don't get that kind of work any more
