Burnout and stress come out in compulsive thinking
I've got a burnout and chronic stress. This comes out in compulsive thinking.
I try all kinds of tricks to deal with this.
It can keep be busy if I really turned down the gas, even though I know I did. Of course I always check this, but before I go out, I always try to recall the picture of myself checking it, to reconfirm that it's really ok, but then I'm never 100% sure.
Then I wonder if it's really ok, and I feel insecure. I know it's only thoughts, they come and go. That these thoughts do not influence the truth, but why does it never feel like that?
As soon as I get the pictures again, I try to distract myself, think positive, accept it, let it go, tell myself it's only thoughts, etc.
I know I should let go, but something inside my head keeps repeating the pictures to reconfirm again and again. It makes me tired and sometimes I don't know how to deal with it anymore.
Are there other tips I could try out?
