Overthinking is a curse; once you are drowned in this, there is no way back. Also, many people simply can't control themselves from overthinking no matter what happens; even if things are going well, they would be like, "What happened? Why are things going so smoothly? Something is not right, or something terrible is coming; this is the silence before the storm." Is there really a silence before the storm? Storm comes with silence, okay, but every silence is not bound by a storm, are they? I guess not; most of the overthinkers won't try to accept this as they would always be thinking about the storm that they would bring by themselves.
Are you an overthinker?
I don't know what I am, I do overthink, but seeing a few people around me, I would love to say that I am not an overthinker. I do think as much as things are legit to happen, whether it's really a storm or the silence. Silence is my nature, and I do love silence, whether it brings a storm or not. Even the storm can be tackled by silence, and I don't know about the others.
How do you handle an overthinker?
I am really in a messed up situation with someone like this, I can just make that person silent but I am afraid it would create silence forever, could be a trauma that is beyond the capability of handling. That person is not in any state to understand any explanation; no matter who is trying, things would fall short and get worsen. Where does the effect occur? To the health, yeah, he gets sick terribly. Even the doctors have said not to overthink over and over again like this, as it's killing from the inside. It is said that body and mind go together; this is the case where I see that this is really true that body and mind go together. The mental state is fully controlling the physical one; if the mental state gets disturbed, then that person would be down physically, no medicine would work on the body, absolutely nothing.
Trust me, on seeing this messed up situation, I am going through severe headaches on a regular basis, taking medication, and even the family members are having a tough time as well. Well, a concern may arise, why am I sticking with this? The answer is I can't part away; something far more important is stuck than the trouble I am going through. I must get through all these and maintain peace. Did I really say ‘peace' right now? Yeah, I know where the peace is and how to acquire that, but I am afraid that could shake something far more terrible than I am dealing with now.
Really, I don't know what to do or how to do; all I am doing is trying to keep pace with the situation as things are really vulnerable right now; maybe I am waiting for a good time to make a few things right as they really need to be.
