Straight up the last time this feedback loop happened to me was before I started the meds I’m on. Now it’s easier to break the loop because I can focus on other things rather than find myself hyper fixating on hyper fixating.
Edit: Usually it was caused by me overthinking on a social situation that I was sure I messed up in some way, that I ended up messing up because I was thinking I was messing it up so I tried to be more not me.

This meme is brought to you by our sponsors of today: Unwarranted anxiety.
My old boss once gave me a really helpful tip for when you’re spirilling. Imagine the Gone With the Wind meme where the lady is spining around with her arms in the air. Now picture that’s you, stretch your arms out like she is and say (out lowd if you can) “look at all the fucks I give.” Something about the absurdity of the gesture makes it easier to just laugh at yourself and life
Do you mean the Sound of Music instead of Gone with the Wind?
But, yes, doing something absurd to help with the spiraling really does help!
yes, thank you
If you have the time to spare, I’ve No More Fucks to Give by Thomas Benjamin Wild Esq is a great song that helps me sometimes.
