How can i stop overthinking?

Question

i can shut my brain up. I keep thinking about my failures in the past. I keep thinking that my college degree and a good career are out of reach (I'm 23 and am barely a junior, after being withdrawn and currently going to a community college) I keep thinking that even finding a date is out of reach (its been 2 years) I just keep thinking that its not going to get down. I know what I want in life, but I just feel as if i don't deserve any of it for some reason. I want to get my journalism degree so that I can finally start working at a local paper, I want to eventually work in PR. I want to get married and have 1 kid before age 30. But I just feel like its all out of reach and that maybe i should give up, but if i do give up i will never stop feeling like this. I just want to feel happy and and to all stop self sabotaging myself.

Answer 3

It sounds to me like you're a little too obsessive about things.   I've had that problem also, and don't know if there is any easy and quick fix for it.

You also sound stressed, and the other answers are pretty good in reccommending a time out to relax.   Try not to dwell on the past, nor to get too far ahead of yourself planning for the future.

Answer 4

You may have underlying issues like depression or something else. Talk to a counselor.

Answer 5
