depressed girl loosing herself

idk what to do anymore i keep over thinking and i cant get it off my mind i need help yet i have no one to talk to

With a head full of compounding thoughts, it can help to write it all down (pen and paper - oldskool!).
When finished, sometimes from shear emotional exhaustion, you can walk away knowing it's all there for you later to recall, edit, or toss away as you see fit.
Then you'll have no reason to keep things spinning in your head and can hopefully get some rest. A good night's distraction-free sleep will help make sense of things where you might find direction.
Of course, this forum offers an outlet to unload what's troubling you. Perhaps a bit of both might suit your requirements, or speaking to a GP who can refer you to face to face support is always worthwhile.

Hi astraluvsrhys,

A warm welcome to the forums. It sounds like you have a lot on your mind at the moment. Please know if you are in crisis and would like to talk to someone immediately you can contact the team here at Beyond Blue by visiting https://www.beyondblue.org.au/get-support/talk-to-a-counsellor. 

I can definitely empathise with you. As someone with lived experience of depression and anxiety I have suffered and still experience overthinking and rumination. Often I will worry about something that may or may not happen in the future or ruminate on something in the past. For example, I can spend a long time overthinking whether or not I took my medication in the morning and work up quite a lot of stress and anxiety around this. 

Here is a good article on challenging negative thoughts. I have used some of the techniques here and found it useful. I can highly recommend the last one which is talking it out. https://au.reachout.com/articles/how-to-challenge-negative-thoughts 

Hope that helps.

Bob
