Hello,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts so honestly. It sounds mentally exhausting to feel like your mind is constantly running with repetitive thoughts, comparison loops, overthinking, and self-pressure. When thoughts keep repeating continuously, it can become difficult to focus, stay motivated, or take consistent action, which can feel frustrating and discouraging.
At times, when stress and mental overload increase, people may also develop coping patterns such as overeating, craving
sugar, excessive scrolling, or procrastination. These behaviours often provide temporary relief but can later increase guilt, frustration, and the feeling of being stuck in the same cycle.
Please try not to blame yourself for struggling with this. The fact that you have repeatedly tried to improve yourself already shows motivation and self-awareness.
A few things that may help:
• Start with very small and realistic goals instead of trying to change everything at once
• Reduce pressure to be “perfect” or fully productive every day
• Try to limit continuous scrolling gradually rather than suddenly stopping it completely
• Focus on building one consistent routine at a time
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) can be very helpful in understanding repetitive thinking patterns, procrastination cycles, emotional triggers, and behavioural habits. With the right support, self-awareness, and gradual changes, improvement is definitely possible.
Warm regards,
