Hi Layali
Yes overthinking. I overthink as well, especially about the negative. I play negative tapes over and over in my head. Its simply due to low sense of self, not really knowing what 'normal' is and a lot of deep shame/guilt. It helps me to literally relabel my thinking. Change it. If that doesn't work, DO something, anything, than sit there and think. And mostly, stop obsessing about what other people think. Accomplishes absolutely nothing. The obsessive thinking is a big part of my GAD and certainly a reason I drink. After some sober time, this does ease.
