Yeah
I wasn’t prepared for this question and I’ld rather wish you had directly thrown a wrench to my head.
…
Okay.
If you can dodge a wrench you can dodge existential dread.
I can’t dodge wrenches … I also can’t dodge existential dread
The five d’s of
dodgeballlife: dodge, duck, dip, dive and dread!Have a Lemmy gold 🏆
I thought it was just: dread, dying, death, decay, die
I definitely overthink before sleep, I’m relatively calm in the other places you listed. I never thought about where/when I overthink before, thanks for giving me a new way of framing overthinking, I will try my best not to overthink it
Try mindfulness meditation. It has helped me get reins on my running mind, especially when I’m trying to sleep.
I used to meditate alot and it has helped, using headspace in the beginning but I stopped some years ago. On the bright side I overthink much less than before but meditation couldn’t hurt and would probably help
Yes.
If you are always listening to podcasts or audio books your brain can’t over think so you only do it while trying to sleep.
Jokes on you, brain. I listen to sleeping podcasts. The thoughts will never catch me.
With headphones? Mine’s are not comfortable enoguh to even lie on one side without feeling pain on my ears. :/
I actually have the same issue and can’t wear earbuds in bed. I went as far as to purchase special sleeping headphones, they’re over the ear and really small (they market themselves as the smallest in the world). I can hardly feel them honestly. However, I was cheap and bought the wired version so now the wire bothers me. If you have money to waste, they’re called bedphones. Just make sure you get the wireless ones.
I sleep on my own now so I just put the sound on my speaker, but sleeping alone is all its own privilege.
Thanks for sharing! I’ll guess it’s something I’ll try at some point. At the moment I currently sleep blindfolded and with earplugs. I like both absolute darkness and having my bedroom properly ventilated.
You and I work very differently, it seems.
I put something on my phone when going to sleep
There’s a place you don’t?
Everywhere?
Por que no los todos
Idk if that is good Spanish but everywhere
por qué no todos would be the right way to phrase it, you were close enough though good job
Yes.
Wait, you guys can stop over thinking?
Everywhere that why I’m always trying to get my mind the most distracted as possible, and that probably make me dumb as fuck and more forgetful than a clown fish
It won’t ever shut up (brainhole adhd).
It’s more what triggers the few seconds of quiet I get blessed with every few moons.
Public spaces and my face cannot hide my thoughts.
I get some strange looks
For me its when I’m sitting on my bed after showering and getting dressed
all of the above
And more!
At my desk, at the gym, at work, during therapy, watching TV, eating, at the club, while reading, so many opportunities to overthink!
