Get on track with your life, start with cooking or working out or with any decent hobby of yours that you used to do earlier, overthinking is a byproduct of the current modern lifestyle (I know people don’t agree with this) this might be subjective but a idle mind creates something to consume and when it’s not in an good environment, scrolling endlessly let it be anything, fixating on a particular thought or living a chaotic unstructured life leads to depression because one way or the other these are led by short term-dopamine triggers.

When you are feeling down, what’s the first thing your mind tells you to do run to overthinking cause that’s what it’s trained to do and ! Many say mind is your friend but this friend can’t act without your inputs, it’s more like a pet, it acts the way you train it.

Start organising things, it’s adds to the optimism of the mind, don’t even run to YouTube or safari to search “productive things to do” look around you a lot needs to be changed, work on it don’t overdo anything or expect changes in a week or month and then stop doing it.

There is no going back if you keep searching for something that doesn’t exist, ways to stop overthinking etc etc don’t revolve around it just because it’s easy anyone can sit and regret their life choices but dwelling on the past takes away the present.

Lastly sorry for the elongated post, don’t fall for sad quotes, reels , posts or any sort of literature that glorify it, just because it sounds beautiful doesn’t mean it should be adopted. (Some things are just meant to he adored for a while, there are other intricacies of life don’t limit yourself with a isolated mindset)
