I don’t know if anyone else experiences this but my brain just won’t shut up lately. I keep imaging the worst case scenarios for everything like if I say the wrong thing people will hate me or if I mess up at work I’ll just lose my job and everything I have. It’s so stupid and irrational but these thoughts just keep coming, especially more so when I’m alone. I’ve tried telling myself to stop and be logical but it just keeps coming!
yeahh those intrusive thoughts can be so loud esp when you’re alone. it’s not stupid at all, it’s just your brain trying to protect you in a weird unhelpful way. sometimes I ask myself like is this true? or remind myself that I’m safe now. it doesn’t make it go away completely but helped me be less hard on myself… dk if that helps!
