Overthinking , maladaptive day dreaming.

Hey there! I understand how difficult it must be for you to deal with daydreaming addiction and overthinking. The past year has not been easy on any of us and it is great that you reached out for help. This in itself is the first step in the right direction for you to manage your mental health better. The best thing for you to do at this point is to consult a therapist. A mental health professional will be able to look into your concerns and formulate a specific treatment plan for you. There are many different types of therapy including Cognitive Behavioural therapy that helps in dealing with overthinking and daydreaming addiction. A therapist will be able to help you identify unhealthy thought patterns and guide you to replace them with healthy ones. The therapist will also be able to look into your concerns related to overthinking and suggest strategies such as practising grounding techniques to deal with it. You can also try out meditation and mindfulness to calm down if you find yourself overthinking. Even ten to fifteen minutes of mindfulness a day is said to have positive effects on mental health. Other physical activities like engaging in sports or dancing and exercise are also effective ways to deal with overthinking. For more information, please contact a therapist and explain your concerns to them in detail. Stay strong, you will get through this!
