Overwhelmed by your never ending thoughts?
Maybe you are starting to notice that your anxiety is getting in the way of living your authentic life. You spend hours overthinking even the smallest, most insignificant things, which causes you to question your relationships with others. Instead, it’s much easier to just stay at home and isolate yourself. You can’t sleep because you are constantly thinking about all the things you didn’t get done or all the things you need to get done tomorrow.
