Insomnia due to overthinking

In the last two weeks our therapists have answered 211 queries related to mental health.

Hi, I've a serious problem of overthinking. I overthink about both good and bad things. Recently I learnt about the term maladaptive dreaming and turns out I avidly do that too. It's like I'm always living in my head. Now because of this my productivity is low during the day and I can't even fall asleep at night. What do I do?

Be prompt. When you're overyhinking, you clearly cannot be working and vice versa so instead of avoiding things, just do them at the first chance you get. Thinking about an imaginary life will bar you from living a good life in reality. Try to meditate before you fall asleep.

Hello, If you're experiencing insomnia due to overthinking, then I suggest you stop using anything that stimulates your mind about an hour before you sleep. Try to close your eyes and focus on the center of your forehead while you take deep breaths. As you get used to this, clearing your mind on command will become easier for you.

I'm in relationship right now. but I don't know why I don't like to stick with one guy. I like to explore.
