The Birth of an Overthinker: My Origin Story

Hey Overthinker,

Welcome to the first edition of ThoughtsAway—a weekly introspection into the labyrinth of overthinking and its ripple effects on our decision-making. Whether you're a seasoned overthinker or someone looking to navigate through its complexities, you're in the right place.

Let's dive in.

🧠 My Overthinking Odyssey

We've all been there. Staring blankly into space, trapped in an endless loop of thoughts, mulling over decisions that should've been straightforward. For many, this is an occasional scenario, but for folks like me? It’s daily life.

I've grappled with overthinking since my teenage years. There I was, perpetually oscillating between 'should I' or 'shouldn't I'. Simple things like choosing an outfit for a friend's party or selecting a college major became marathons of analysis. The world was a sea of infinite possibilities, and my mind? The ship without a compass.

This isn't just a newsletter. It's a chronicle of my journey, a platform where I candidly share the battles I wage in the theater of my mind. ThoughtsAway is not just about the struggles—it's also about the triumphs, the coping strategies, and those precious moments of clarity amidst the chaos.
