Just a constant daily battle overthinking and worrying about things mainly at work . Drive for a living and I’m constantly worrying whether I’ve missed a speed sign or driven to close to someone with a dash cam and any other thing I can manufacture in my mind . The more I think about a situation I manage in my mind to twist it so it becomes more and more serious.Even the slightest little thing, I can manage to turn into impending disaster . So frustrating !!!

Drifter,
Welcome to the forum.
Think many of must can relate to your constant overthinking. It must be hard when you are driving for a living and constantly worrying.
Have you tried meditation or mindfulness. or calming music . ?
Thanks for writing your post.

Hi Drifter3 and welcome,
I understand what you mean about the worry cycle, particularly at work. Is this a new job or have you been in it for a while?
