If You Feel Too Much, This Is for You

 LIVING WITH A MIND THAT NEVER RESTS

 

I started this blog as a way to make sense of the noise in my head. To explore what it means to live with a restless mind, not to fix it but to understand it. 

Have you ever argued with yourself in your head and lost? That's me. Daily. My brain doesn't believe in breaks it works continuously." It doesn't clock out ever.

It's wild, really. You can be lying in the bed, body still, and a silent room....but inside your head? A riot. Replaying. Overthinking. Rethinking. Apologizing. Predicting. Thinking that I should have said that at the particular moment.

Welcome to the inner monologue marathon. No breaks. No mute button. Just you and your thoughts...forever sound's crazy right?

Living with a mind that never rests is like being stuck in the loudest roommate who also happens to be you. It's not just anxiety, and it's not always bad. But it's exhausting.

You don't "just let it go."

You don't "just stop thinking 

Because you can't.

It feels like your brain has many tabs open at the same time.

🧠Overthinking: Where every thought Has a Sequel You Didn't Ask For

Welcome to the mental maze you didn't sign up for.

You're not just thinking. You're overthinking.

You don't just have thoughts 

You host full length mental movies, with plot twists, deleted scenes, and arguments you lost...then won...but only in your head.

Sound's familiar you're not alone.

😅What Overthinking actually Looks Like:

• Replying conversations from 6 hours ago.
• Rethinking what you should've said in an argument...in the shower..3 days later.
• Imagining every possible scenario 90% of which will never happen.
• Feeling emotionally exhausted before 9 a.m., and you haven't even left your bed.
• And when it really spirals?
• It stops being quirky or funny. 
• It starts turning into self doubt, mental burnout, and even depression.

💬So, what do you do when your brain won't shut up?

• You don't fight it.
• You challenge it.
• You challenge the thought, not yourself.
• And most importantly you talk about it.
• Because when overthinking goes unchecked, it stops being a habit...and becomes a heavy, quiet mental health issue.

✅What Actually Helps:

• Journaling (aka brain dumping all that chaos on paper)
• Mindfulness or Meditation (yes, even 5 minutes help)
• Talking to someone- friend, therapist or even a voice note of yourself
• Setting a ''worry time'' (give your brain a schedule it oddly works)

🎯Final Thought 

Overthinking isn't a personality trait. It's a coping mechanism gone wild.

And while it may feel harmless at first, if left unchecked, it can lead to anxiety, low self- esteem, and even depression.

So next time your brain starts spinning stories, remind it:

           "We don't have to attend every thought we're invited to."

Especially not the ones that cost us peace.

Living with a mind that never rests is like carrying a storm in your head while the world expects you to be calm, productive, and smiling.

It’s not just overthinking—it’s over-feeling, over-analyzing, and over-caring.

You second-guess your words, your choices and even your instincts.

You play out conversations before they happen and after.

You try to control every outcome in your head so that real life doesn’t catch you off guard.

But in trying to avoid discomfort, you often end up living in it constantly.

And here’s the truth: it’s exhausting.

Mentally. Physically. Emotionally.

But you’re not alone.

You’re not broken.

You’re not “too much.”

You just have a mind that’s more alert, more cautious, more alive.

That same mind is also deeply thoughtful, creative, empathetic, and aware.

You feel things on a different level and that’s not a flaw.

It’s a form of strength that just needs balance, boundaries, and a lot more self-compassion.

So no, you may not always be able to turn your mind off.
