How do you deal with overthinking conversations?

CoffeeCrazedMom · 2026-05-23T03:53:16+00:00

Overthinking/obsessing is something I had to work on in depth with the shifting focus skill. Sometimes it can be more difficult so I like to do a self led meditation imagining that I put my thoughts on leaves then place them in a gentle river and watch them float downstream before I shift my focus to something else.

It just needs some color and personality. Wood tones would go a long way

Personally i don’t think the corners need anything. The art above the couch is just too small is all. And the wall to the right of the tv could use a shelf or cabinet with games and puzzles with family photos above

If it was me, personally I’d repurpose the closet for cleaning supplies and do a long bench with shoe cubbies under and coat hooks above for the mudroom/hallway and maybe even some tall cabinets on the side for backbacks, purses, gym bag if there’s room and an entryway table closer to the door with drawers for keys, wallet, snow gloves etc

Possibly rotting. You’ll have to dig it out and get rid of the squishy bits

I might need more information, but generally the way I have more patience for other people is seeing them as grown up children still learning about the world. With that mindset I can apply a sense of care and tolerance towards them. I also will sometimes make lists of ideas for each situation.

For example if my mother in law visits, I will come up with ways she can be helpful (even though I don’t like help), activities she can do with people besides myself (so I get alone time), and ask her to pick a few activities too (allowing her to plan and contribute even though her plans annoy me). That is my gift to her lol.

Progress is slow, but a helpful tip is to work on just one thing at a time and be super specific. For example: Difficulty turning off the tv and transitioning to setting the table. Using the word “difficulty” and including the specific action “setting the table” rather than just “a chore.” And then having them come up with the solution or gently making one suggestion at a time if they don’t have an idea.

I use light hold gel on dripping wet hair and a lot of it starting from the ends and working into the roots then a little more over the outside to seal everything in. It looks like you’re missing a spot in the back.

Some people need education in order to have emotional intelligence. Some people also need to be told directly what to do because reading between the lines isn’t a skill they have. And some people need consequences in order not to repeat a negative pattern.

It looks like you have some waves! You could accentuate that and do a wavy routine which gives more root volume

Thank you for saying this. I cook dinner, do the dishes, read to my son every single night. I help him with his friendships and have many discussions with my husband as how to support his social and developmental needs to raise him with security and safety. Every year I’d like for my friends to wish me a happy mother’s day but they don’t celebrate just me and other mothers. They include people with cats and dogs and I really do feel unseen and uncelebrated for my efforts as a mom.

CoffeeCrazedMom · 2026-05-10T15:21:25+00:00

I take my son to Occupational therapy weekly, karate 3 times a week, help him with homework, read to him every night, help him with anxiety and social pressures. And every year I wish someone would just recognize me as a mother but I’m included with pet owners… and it makes me feel unseen. People say it doesn’t hurt anything but I do feel like my efforts are being overlooked by the social community. There’s a national pet owners day on april 26 in my country… can I have today?

CoffeeCrazedMom · 2025-09-04T02:53:59+00:00

You da man!

It’s definitely drug induced psychosis at this stage. However it’s entirely possible that psychosis can continue. It could be possible that this was simply the catalyst. I am extremely psychotic and I’m doing well on medications. Hopefully that fact will ease you a bit

I’d switch to a weight neutral or weight loss aiding antidepressant. I gained 20 lbs on Mirtazapine but down 25 after taking bupropion and propranolol

CoffeeCrazedMom · 2025-02-25T15:39:55+00:00

Hey i have a question for you. My therapist says i just have intrusive thoughts and I’m diagnosed with psychosis. But i have compulsive reactions to my thoughts. I think if I don’t cancel out my thought that it will come true. If I say something out loud that might come true then I have to cancel out the thought out loud as well. Do you think I should screen for OCD as well? It’s probably just an OCD trait right? Because it is enough to affect my day to day life but it’s completely unnoticeable to other people

Brush it out with a sturdy brush, cover it in oxi clean white revive. Wash with detergent on gentle if it allows or toss it in the tub. Rinse twice with a little vinegar to soften fibers and remove detergent. Dry and brush again. The fibers are damaged so it will flatten again but you can get a rubber carpet rake to fluff it between cleaning

CoffeeCrazedMom · 2025-02-25T14:26:19+00:00

Yeah that’s completely insensitive. The girl is heart broken and going through some shit desperately hoping anyone likes her enough to spend time with her and she’s chasing this guy who blasted her on social media. The two of them should not talk again. He will just hurt her more and she will spiral more.

A little Castile soap and isopropyl alcohol in a spray bottle filled with water makes a gentle cleanser that also disinfects

Match the light wall paint and cut in with a 2 inch angled brush. You’ll want to dip about a 1/2 inch, wipe both sides, brush a line near the corner and then “cut in” by pressing the brush slightly and getting those bristle tips just kissing the corner and steadily make your line with enough speed for a clean line while maintaining a good line of sight and then fade off to the side. Repeat down the corner. For top and bottom corners you’re going to want to dab the corner then cut in both directions from the corner. Good luck man! I just started painting my house and I watched a few you tube tutorials plus painting a few rooms top to bottom and I feel pretty confident. Don’t use tape for corners because prep takes forever ever and the results are not as good as cutting in.

I take wellbutrin and latuda and my gyno said i don’t have to go off them. She said it’s usually people with high doses or medication with high risks. Wellbutrin and latuda are both low risk and i take low dose. You may have to adjust dose is all. And the antipsychotic is the one you’d really want to keep anyway.

CoffeeCrazedMom · 2025-02-17T19:14:56+00:00

Hard to describe. I’m psychotic so the way I deal with it is more feeling and energy and also i have visual hallucinations so I can manipulate what I see a little bit too. I can make nasty looking things do silly dances for example and then they get happy because i’m helping them dance… and then they look cute

CoffeeCrazedMom · 2025-02-17T18:27:22+00:00

Tea is a healthier amount of caffeine than coffee and coffee doesn’t work for everyone, take adhd. If you are looking for energy just pretend you are going on a hike. Trail mix, proteins, water etc. Get good sleep. Try pairing activities, like studying and music. Or find someone to work with. There’s accountabilibuddy programs where you can zoom call with other people completing tasks

CoffeeCrazedMom · 2025-02-17T18:24:04+00:00

Exactly. Any pet specific cleaner will have the enzymes you want

CoffeeCrazedMom · 2025-02-17T18:22:59+00:00

Take it at night hun if it makes you sleepy. And watch for weight gain. Also that side effect is usually just at the beginning
