You all have a single spot where this happens?
You have places where you stop overthinking?
Pharmaceutical intervention and/or complete physical exhaustion are all that have ever really worked for me.
My trick is that drugs are the only thing that works. Even complete exhaustion let's me ponder that for a few hours before sleep 🙃
All places, all times. 😔
Yes
Everywhere, Everywhen unfortunately.
Walking the dog is missing
Smooth brain empty mind
always and everywhere
This is the way.
To ADHD
Present and accounted for.
I'm not saying I like it, it's just the way it is.
Everywhere, all at once.
It was the dishes and public spaces before i got earbuds and twenty-seven podcasts to listen to.
It was before sleep until I started taking edibles before bed
It was the shower until i got waterproof earbuds
Now I just overthink while I'm trying to have conversations with people
Offload those pesky conversations to a LLM and give that brain of yours a rest, pal.
When I'm looking you in the eye
Need option 5. On the shitter.
Nah, I watch Star Trek while washing plates so no chance of overthinking there. Oh, and on the train. And before sleeping. I do not while showering though so probably there.
Forgetting walking in the woods. But it's overthinking in a good, peaceful, nigh meditative sense.
Yuuuup, I have that while doing yoga alone or trying to meditate.
All of the above? Also, not just public places. Wherever I'm not actively doing something, there's at least three thought irons in the sleepless fire. 🤷🏽♂️
I think most clearly when I’m lifting weights. The rest of the time it’s like a combination of SpongeBob and Patrick chitchatting 24/7.
Yes
I don't overthink. I think exactly as much as I'm meant to. Just because you're forced to waste time doesn't mean there's anything wrong with you.
Must be nice knowing you don't overthink.
Before sleep. Always. Sometimes in public transportation, too, when I don't have anything to read or watch on my phone
All of the above and more!
While trying to sleep. And it often ruins my sleep. And I fucking hate it. Has already happened tonight, in fact, regoing over shit from the day that sucked.
I don't really have control over it, this is why I go take long walks/jogs. I keep ruminating for a good chunk of the exercise, then comes a point when I enter the flow and stop thinking. I just look at the landscape breezing past me. Immobile, rolling a ball the size of a planet under my feet. At last, the thinking stops.
Before sleeping. Except this can occur for hours.
Lately also while playing katamari.
Every place I can't pull my phone out to turn off the brain.
Wherever the realization that average life expectancy for me is 80 and I turn 40 next year hits me.
Fuck childhood, you've been an adult for 20 years. You got 2x the time you've been an adult left, go work!
I mean I am but fuck does the ticking of the clock become deafening sometimes.
As a general rule, I overthink everywhere. But the only time I actually have helpful ideas is when taking a dump.
Any time I have to handwash anything, I think "Why in the fuck did I not triple check that this was dishwasher safe, I should buy a dishwasher safe one so I don't need to waste time standing over the fucking sink doing what a hunk of metal could save me the time doing, and more efficiently to boot".
Showering is either a power fantasy or dread.
Before sleeping is definitely dread.
Public spaces is "why in the fuck are so many people so fucking nasty".
Big agree. Either hand wash all or dishwasher wash all. To live in between is to suffer
Primarily while driving
When being flat, so before bed. I'm too busy in the shower trying to scrub down and the water sounds erase thought. Same with dishes. Human sounds erase thought in public. The bedroom is quiet. Too quiet.
What the hell d'y'all mean "where?"?
I Overthink, Therefore, I Am!
: p
it's always public spaces. being among people gives me all kinds of weird thoughts. it's not just public spaces either, it's anywhere where there's lots of people, including school, work, friends meetup.
I don't think
All 4 I can’t stop
They forgot on the terlet.
Pubic spaces ftw! The societal shun protects thee.
sleep
Usually when I’m having a threesome with two swamp donkeys.
