Does your mind feel like it never shuts off—constantly overthinking, second-guessing, or trying to get everything “right”? You might replay conversations, analyze how you came across, or feel pressure to meet expectations, even when it’s exhausting. Small interactions can linger for hours, and your mind fills in the gaps with worst-case scenarios or self-criticism. Even when you try to let things go, your body stays tense, on edge, or unable to fully relax. From the outside, you seem put together; but internally, it feels like a constant loop of anxiety, pressure, and self-doubt you can’t turn off.
