Over thinking.....

I can ruin a weekend for myself by over thinking on something I did or said the previous Friday for example. It might be something in my job which I wish I had done better for example and until Monday comes, when I can maybe correct it, I go back over and over it in my head and do it differently. It is really exhausting and stressful. Does anyone know what I mean? :(

Yeah I totally get what you mean. Unfortunately I have no advice! But you are not alone…

Absolutely!! I exhaust myself doing exactly the same. It’s horrible, and mainly work focused. I’m self employed, so I constantly torture myself on whether I’m doing a good enough job, and relay client calls and meetings in my head all the time, kicking myself for not doing or saying things well enough.

Totally understand as I do the same and I hate it. I wish I could offer some advice.

Same. Could he years ago, last week. I’m really sick of it!
