It was just a normal day, like every other day. Nothing really happened.
I sent a message and didn’t get a reply. My mind starts wandering into random thoughts, and most of them were worst case scenarios and negative.
Maybe they were busy doing something ...but my mind didn’t let it go.
“Did I say something wrong?”
“Are they ignoring me?”
“Did I do something I shouldn’t have?”
A small mistake later in the day stayed with me longer than it should have.
I kept replaying it again and again, wishing I had done it differently.
Even the smallest tiny things started to feel heavy.
A change in someone’s tone, a short reply, a moment of silence…
everything felt like it meant something more.
From the outside, I looked fine.
I laughed, I talked, I acted normal.
But inside, I was exhausted by these constant anxiety and thoughts.
My mind just wouldn’t slow down.
I knew these were small things.
I knew I was overthinking.
But knowing it didn’t make it stop.
It’s strange how something so small
can turn into something so big inside your head.
And in the end, I just sat quietly…
waiting for the storm in my mind to calm down, even a little.
