You read the title.

I'm sure many others on this sub have experienced something similar, but I'll have instances where I'll be triggered by something, and I'll sit there and start to experience worry like "Oh I bet these people don't like me" or "this is a thing that is out of your control, so let's speed up your brain to try and think of everything we can control to combat this".

It's overthinking, and can sometimes lead to panic attacks. I would love to hear what mental tricks people have up their sleeves to turn this off. Because when I get like this it ruins everything. But it's like a switch, there is such a distinct difference between this stressed mode and normal activity mode, and to flip it on command would help me so much.

Again, looking forward to what y'all have to say, thanks!
