Hi! My apologies if this is posted or flaired wrong, I'm new here and just needed someone to talk to. I wanted to see if anyone else has dealt with this or has advice for dealing with it.

I have pretty bad anxiety. One thing that constantly rears its ugly head is the general feeling of unease and anxiety over little things.

It’s like my brain is stuck on a nonstop anxiety ridden feedback loop?

Like something small bothers me, so I think about it, try to deconstruct it point by point in my mind, but since it’s something I personally can’t solve, or out of my control, it’s never truly remedied. So, while I feel better for a little bit, the cycle starts all over again later and my brain just isn’t processing my earlier points. 

And it sucks! Because I know my points make logical sound sense and debunk all of my anxieties, but for some reason it just… doesn’t process. And if I do stop obsessing over one minor problem, my brain IMMEDIATELY latches onto a new one!

More common IRL issues aside (interviews, work, etc), it even leaks into the things I like for enjoyment. If I like a book my brain will obsess over how this book does this thing wrong, actually, and that it ruins the book, actually, and other people don’t like this book and that is bad, actually. And logically I know it’s stupid, and I have sound points debunking all of it, but it just. Latches to my mind and can ruin my whole day. And it not feeling solves TRULY bothers me, but it feels unsolvable and can even ruin my enjoyment of the thing I like.

….Anyone else?
