talk about the crazy shit your brain does
I got upset about something yesterday and obsessed about it for 3 hours, then it was in the back of my mind all night ... and much of today.
I don't want that. And it sucks living with a brain that does that.
I used to be really insecure about this. But I also used to identify with that obsession and upset.
I've grown a lot and can mostly recognize where it's genuinely me and my feelings and my reactions and where it crosses over into unhealthy emotional instability and obsession, things that I would stop if I could.
I'm getting better at talking about that stuff. And I think it helps.
