Hi
What you’re going through sounds incredibly intense, and I want you to know—you are not alone, and this can be managed with care and the right support. Continuous overthinking, especially when tied to unresolved personal matters, can overstimulate the nervous system and lead to physical symptoms like panic attacks, tight chest, breathlessness, and even asthma flare-ups. It becomes a loop: the more you overthink, the more your body reacts, and the more physical discomfort you feel, the more anxious you become.
This is where therapy can make a real difference. Through CBT, relaxation training, and emotional processing, we can begin to untangle the thoughts that are consuming you and build healthy ways to manage triggers. Grounding techniques, breathwork, and guided emotional release will also help you regain control over your body and mind. You don’t have to suffer in silence or feel trapped in your own thoughts. With regular sessions, this storm can calm down and you can return to a peaceful, functional life.

Hi,
Overthinking can significantly impact mental and physical health, contributing to issues like asthma and panic attacks, as you've experienced. When your mind becomes fixated on certain personal matters, it can lead to heightened anxiety, which in turn may exacerbate physical symptoms. Itâs essential to address both the psychological and physical aspects of your situation. Seeking support from a mental health professional, such as a psychologist or therapist, can provide you with effective strategies to manage overthinking and anxiety. Techniques such as Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and relaxation exercises can help you challenge negative thoughts and reduce anxiety levels. Additionally, working with a healthcare provider to manage the physical symptoms related to your asthma and panic attacks is crucial. Incorporating regular physical activity, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and practicing stress-reduction techniques can also be beneficial. Remember, taking proactive steps toward both your mental and physical well-being is important in breaking the cycle of overthinking and its associated health issues.

Hi ,
I can hear how overwhelming the overthinking has been for you, especially with how it’s affecting your body not just your mind.
When our mind is caught up in constant stress and worry it can trigger heightened stress response to the body.
Whatever you are going through might be the context that needs to be discussed and navigate ways to manage it.
Next Steps
Speak to a Counselling psychologist additionally explore if medications by going to a psychiatrist can also aid.
