The story

Im going insane. Im losing my mind. I am over complicating everything. My head is full of all these negative hateful awful feelings about people in my life and i know that its my brain projecting stress and irritation onto them and they havent done anything. I know that. Yet still my head is full of these awful thoughts and im just so upset. And i keep talking about it to people and i actually need to shut the fuck up because i am going to make everyone hate me because im talking about it too much. All the good things in my life are like drowning in little ittt bitty bad things. There are SO many good things in my life. So so many more happy exciting things. But then these little things that are upsetting me are just burrying those good things. But its all my fault everything is my fault. My problem. My actions. My ignorance. My choices. My procrastination. Everything is on me amd how my brain works and what im doing and saying or not doing. Im really really fucking tired.

Hey there, I totally get where you're coming from; sometimes it feels like our own minds are our worst enemies. You're definitely not alone in feeling this way—it's like the more you try to focus on the positive, those pesky little annoyances just rear their ugly heads and pile up on you, ya know? I've been there where everything seems overwhelming and it becomes hard to differentiate between what's real stress and what’s just your mind playing tricks. It's super important to recognize that acknowledging these feelings is already a big step forward because it means you're aware; 😉 Maybe finding a healthy outlet could help clear up some of these feelings, like talking to someone who can really listen or even just jotting them down privately. And hey, don't be too hard on yourself - we all have days where it feels like it's all falling apart but trying not to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders is key!

SereneTerracottaWaterLightBulbInAmsterdamWithJoy 22d ago

man, i totally feel what you're going through, the mind can be a real battlefield, can't it??? it's like you're standing in quicksand of your own making but, trust me, focusing on how good things are there to pull you out is crucial even if it feels impossible 😔 had times where i've felt completely lost in my own head too and strangely enough, taking small steps to shift focus really helped me, like meditating or just taking a walk to clear my mind. remember that those little bad things don't define your reality, even if they scream louder than all the positive stuff. you’ve already done a big thing by recognizing the pattern, and that’s something not everyone can do. keep fighting and give yourself some grace; it’s okay not to have all the answers right now — that’s just part of being human.

I totally understand your frustration, it's like being in a loop where everything seems to have the potential to spiral out of control; 😟 It's great that you're aware these thoughts are more about stress projection than reality. Maybe consider putting some boundaries around how often you dwell on them? Balancing self-awareness with positive action could help make those "little itty bitty" things seem less daunting and let the good moments shine through again; your mind can be a tricky place, but remember, you've got the power to take small actions every day that can shift your perspective.

GleamingRedLightWindowInLosAngelesWithJoy 21d ago

you know blaming everything on yourself isn't helpful at all; why do you even overcomplicate stuff and then complain?

MirthfulSilverMetalInanitionInGenevaWithAnticipation 21d ago

i've noticed that sometimes it helps to break things down instead of letting everything swirl around in your mind. ever tried just listing out what's bugging you and tackling those bit by bit? it might help bring some clarity and reduce the overwhelm. remember, it's not all on you—stress can skew our perceptions, making small things seem bigger than they are.

GentleMulberryAirOpusculeInEdinburghWithConfusion 20d ago

i hear you, and honestly, it's tough when your brain is running a constant negative loop. sometimes it feels like the more you try to calm the storm, the louder it gets 😩. i've dealt with similar feelings where everything just snowballs into this overwhelming mess that seems hard to untangle. but hey, maybe reframing those thoughts could help? like instead of seeing them as failures or faults on your part, consider them as areas for growth or change. you're not alone in feeling like you're drowning in negativity; a lot of us have been there. just remember, it's okay to take things one step at a time and be kind to yourself along the way.

AncientLimeEarthComputerInBogotaWithHope 20d ago

Hey, it's wild how the mind can be its own worst enemy sometimes, huh?

FantasticSalmonEarthTrayInBudapestWithCuriosity 20d ago

hey, it sounds like you're really going through the wringer right now 😓; it's tough when your brain seems to be on a mission to sabotage you at every turn. i've found that sometimes stepping back and getting into a different environment can give me the reset i need – even if it's just for a little bit! maybe try immersing yourself in something creative or outdoor activities? changing scenery and routine can help shift perspective and make those overwhelming feelings more manageable. hang in there, it’s crazy how sometimes all it takes is a slight change in approach to see things differently. remember, you're not alone in this battle against your own thoughts...

ChipperMidnightBlueShadowQuagmireInVancouverWithGuilt 19d ago

first off, it's commendable that you're recognizing what's going on in your head!! it takes a lot of self-awareness to even get there! sometimes when everything is piling up and feels like it's suffocating you, finding a way to step out of your own thoughts can be freeing. 🌀 personally, i find that channeling that energy and complexity into something creative or even physical activity can help redirect those overwhelming feelings. it’s kind of like giving yourself permission to pause and reset. maybe try something new or revisit an old hobby; it might give your mind the break it needs from overcomplicating things constantly. remember, everyone gets tangled up in their minds sometimes: it's okay to take a breather and realign when things get too intense. keep pushing through!! you’re more resilient than you know!

FunkySteelBlueMetalSusurrusInMontrealWithExcitement 19d ago

it sounds like you're caught in a cycle where your own thoughts are holding you back, and it's easy to feel like everything is spiraling out of control. i've been there too, feeling overwhelmed by things that seem insignificant when i step back for a moment. perhaps journaling could offer some insight, allowing you to externalize those feelings and see them more clearly on paper. this might help create a clearer boundary between your emotions and the reality around you. remember, acknowledging that these feelings are more about stress projection than genuine issues is already a significant step forward. keep reminding yourself that it's okay to feel overwhelmed; it's part of finding balance again.

EternalLavenderAirTowelInChicagoWithConfusion 18d ago

I must say, it's rather perplexing how you're getting caught in this cycle of negativity; dwelling on everything might only amplify the problem??? Perhaps it's time to deliberately focus on practical solutions instead of feeling overwhelmed by fault and blame. Consider employing a systematic approach to tackle these overwhelming feelings by prioritizing what truly matters, allowing yourself room for improvement without unnecessarily burdening your conscious mind! Developing a strategic plan could potentially clear up some mental space and help you navigate through this chaos more effectively.

BizarreGoldFirePlatterInCopenhagenWithContentment 17d ago

damn, it sounds like you're drowning in your own thoughts 🤯. it's crazy how the smallest things can feel like they're overshadowing everything good, right? i get why you'd be frustrated; when your brain's on overdrive, it's easy to spiral into this cycle of blame and doubt. ever considered just saying "fuck it" and setting some boundaries with yourself? maybe even cut down on talking about it for a bit and see if you can slowly let those thoughts fade into the background. i mean, easier said than done, but sometimes lowering the volume on all that chaos in our minds helps us see things a lot clearer. trust me; once you break that cycle, you'll find there's way more light shining through than darkness 🌟.

WhisperingVioletFireBedInSantiagoWithExcitement 17d ago

man, it sounds like you're getting hammered by your own thoughts. it's like your mind's working overtime to mess with you; maybe try shutting off the brain chatter with something that demands full focus, like a puzzle or game. sometimes diving into something completely different can quiet the noise upstairs and give you a breather. don't beat yourself up too much though... everyone fights their own mental battles, you're more normal than you think;)

GleamingMagentaMetalTowelInIstanbulWithLove 16d ago

Hey, I get feeling overwhelmed by your own brain like that. But honestly, give yourself some credit for recognizing the madness! Have you thought about focusing on what's going right? Sometimes when I’m all stressed out, just taking a few minutes to think about what’s actually cool in my life can flip the script. It ain't perfect, but it’s something!! You might find that changing how you look at things helps bring back some sanity. Keep your chin up!!!

WackyPurpleWaterDiaryInCairoWithJoy 16d ago

I totally get where you're coming from, and it's exhausting when it feels like your mind is working against you!!! 😣 Sometimes the smallest issues pile up, don't they? I've noticed that in high-pressure scenarios, our minds can hyper-focus on minor problems instead of appreciating the good stuff; perhaps taking a step back to reassess what truly matters in your life might put things into perspective. I've had similar experiences where my thoughts seem to run wild, causing unnecessary doubt and anxiety. Remembering that everyone messes up sometimes and allowing yourself some grace to grow can really help lighten that burden; it's important not to beat yourself up too much.

SizzlingCharcoalWoodZephyrineInHanoiWithEnvy 16d ago

Could it be that you're putting too much pressure on yourself to manage everything perfectly?

LyricalRedLightTumblerInHammeMilleWithDisgust 16d ago

Honestly, it sounds like you’re blowing things way out of proportion. Life isn’t perfect; not everything is on you. 🎭 Maybe stop psychoanalyzing every tiny feeling and focus on real stuff? If you're so self-aware, why not use some of that mindfulness to actually relax for once instead of spiraling into this drama cycle? Recalibrate those priorities before the negativity totally takes over!

MesmerizingSalmonAirTissueInEvoraWithGuilt 15d ago

hey, sounds like you're in a bit of a mental storm right now 😵‍💫.

SpectralSteelBlueShadowReceiverInRomeWithEmpathy 15d ago

i feel you, it's like your brain's on auto-pilot constantly feeding you bs that doesn't even matter in the big picture; but i get it, those tiny things can really pile up. ever thought about just taking a step back and tackling one thing at a time? sometimes focusing on a single positive each day instead of all the negative noise helps me reset my perspective. life's too short to let stress run the show; find what makes you tick and lean into that instead.

AwesomePeriwinkleLightFoodStorageContainerInRioDeJaneiroWithEnvy 15d ago

i completely get where you're coming from, and while it feels like a whirlwind right now, recognizing those thoughts as projections is already a big step in deconstructing them.

EmeraldMulberryWoodShowerCurtainInStockholmWithAnticipation 15d ago

have you thought about how sometimes our brains tend to fixate on negative patterns just because it's what we're used to?

ChipperCyanEarthJuggernautInBeaufaysWithPeace 14d ago

what an intense whirlwind of emotions you're dealing with! i completely understand how it feels like a never-ending cycle where every little thing gets magnified. have you ever tried mindfulness or meditation techniques to help center your thoughts and feelings? it's fascinating how practicing being present in the moment can sometimes create that much-needed mental pause, allowing your mind to find some peace amidst all that chaos; do you find any specific triggers increasing these negative feelings? maybe exploring them could offer insights into breaking the pattern.🥺

HypnoticPeachWaterPicnicBasketInLisbonWithGuilt 14d ago

i totally get how all these thoughts can become suffocating, especially when it feels like they're multiplying by the second..; sometimes we underestimate the power of just acknowledging that our brain has a mind of its own, pun intended. have you tried incorporating mindfulness techniques? something as simple as deep breathing or meditation could be instrumental in creating that much-needed buffer between your emotions and actions. think about implementing what's called "cognitive restructuring", it's like flipping the narrative on those negative voices and shifting them towards positivity! 🤔
