A lot of us are the victims of overthinking. But it is important to take the right steps at appropriate times to prevent our thoughts from ruling us. Here are some steps to help you from slowing down your overthinking patterns. Also, please note that these are some general techniques and not all of them mai suit you. If it is going out of hand, I suggest you seek professional help that'll help you to reach the root of the problem and have long term effects:
1. As soon as you notice your thoughts are rushing, scream STOP to yourself and try to focus on the present. Try to let go of the past regrets and future worries. Yes, it is easier said than done, but by focusing on the resent voluntarily in the beginning will train your brain slowly, in a way your overthinking slows down.
2. Worry Time!
Set a fixed time of 15-20 minutes daily for overthinking and worrying. Tell yourself to worry only when it's the time and not before or after the alarm goes off. This will help you acknowledge your thoughts and also not waste all day behind them.
3. Mindfulness Meditation
Sit comfortably at a place and focus on your breath. Be in the present. If there are any thoughts coming in your mind, let them pass by, but do not engage with them. Focus on your breathing, how your body feels and how the air is passing by.
Next Steps
Reflect on your thoughts
Health Tips
If things still feel overwhelming, it would be advisable to talk to a therapist.

Hello.. I understand what you are going through and your concern for that. Try to understand that overthinking is itself a result of some problem which creates other problems. So for this I would say consult a psychologist and discuss your problems in detail , you will definitely get help.
Take care

Everything in life cannot be resorted to or resolved by medications..
Overthinking is generally a concern either about the future or as a frustration about about the past..
Both of it are not in your control nor that you can change anything in both the places..
It is better to seek a professional support to overcome this issue permanently by learning to be in the present moment..

Hi... Please understand this, Overthinking is a consequence and not a problem in itself. There are things you are seriously concerned about and since you are not thinking about them in your conscious mind so they are getting repressed, but still active, in your subconscious or unconscious mind. These repressed issues are at the core of your frustration, anxiety, and insomnia. Taking medication can only solve it temporarily. If you really want to resolve it, please undergo Counselling/Psychotherapy.
Next Steps
Consult a Psychologist and start taking Counselling Sessions on Weekly basis for 15-20 sessions minimum.
