Overthinking

Amy22

Sometimes I wished I didn't overthink every single thing in my life because maybe I would start to enjoy life more and live in the moment. Lately because I am working as an apprentice in the film and tv industry and part of my job is not to say to anyone what I am working on execpt with the people I work with. Lately, I feel like I let something slip when talking to my parents about my day at work once. I'm not sure if this is true but my brain is telling I said or did something wrong and I now I fear something bad will happen. Also, I got a bit of cold and flu at the moment so I don't know whether it may be the cold making me feel low. I don't know I just wished I could stop this bloody overthinking all the time because things would be easier for me. I know that I have had struggled with OCD in the past and I don't know if its coming back to attack me when I feel ill at the moment.

I expect lots of people in your position would share information they’re not supposed to, especially to close friends and family. If you did let anything slip that you shouldn’t have, then you can just ask your parents not to tell anyone else. I’m sure it’ll be okay

@Amy22 Do you think that journalling might help you as a way of processing and still getting things out but without having to tell people? It sounds like a very difficult situation, I hope things get easier for you

@lunarcat522 thanks so much, I really appreciate it. I used to journal, well actually I have been trying to keep a diary but I lost my streak quite recently. I used to do it back in the day but lost touch with it. Maybe I might consider re-doing this again but I do feel like in a way using themix is kind of a like a journal for me but that I get reassurance in a way. I guess I crave reassurance or something idk.

Hey @Amy22, I can hear that how a potential slip up is causing you some worry! I think the general stance is that you do your best to keep it secret, but we all mistakes sometimes. It's not something you did intentionally or to try to capitalise on that information - be kind to yourself, we're human after all

I hope you feel better soon! Overthinking is something a lot of members here can relate to. Going around in circles can be exhausting, and oftentimes we don't reach a conclusion either. Be kind to yourself, forgive yourself for making a small mistake, and keep on working well at that apprenticeship
