Re: Over Thinking Things?
I often have problems sleeping and I know I overthink things but I have had a lot of illness in my family and I mean serious illnesses with younger members so its difficult not to worry and possibly overthink things.Whan it happens I have a favourite beach I retreat to in my mind and that along with breathing exercises works......sometimes

In the morning, after a savage night of sleep, it's all gone away and you start another day!
I'm not talking about conspiracy theories..
I used to do it all the time Ted and it drove me nuts. Each night four or five problems going round and round with no solution, until eventually I would fall asleep from exhaustion. These days, if I get a thought start up when I am trying to sleep, I stop it immediately. Even when I get up to visit the loo in the night, I makes sure I don't start thinking about anything apart from aiming straight.
Like summer, I sometimes imagine I am on a beach but interestingly, I imagine I am alone and have been washed up on the shore after a shipwreck and I am drying off in the hot sun.
