Do you ever wish that your brain had a mute button? Not only am I an anxious overthinker, but I am a total introvert in that I love hanging out with people, but my social battery drains very easily. I know I have gone over my limit of socializing when the next day, I find myself rethinking every interaction I had the previous day. I scrutinize every word I said and others' reactions until I've spent more time reliving every conversation than actually having them. 

I know I am not the only one whose brain likes to run overtime. My boyfriend is the type of person that likes to be prepared for the worst case scenario. The trouble is, he can think of an infinite amount of terrible possibilities, and it is impossible to prepare for them all. If you're scrolling on your phone to quiet down the overthinking in your brain, check out these relatable memes so that you know that you're not alone!

    Amanda JOY * Deibert @amandadeibert My favorite lie that I tell myself constantly is "I just have to get through this week and then things will calm down."
    via @amandadeibert

  • It's a great lie, though. But the phrase, “If it's not one thing, it's the other," totally rings true in adulthood. Nothing ever really calms down. There's always something pressing to worry over in some way.
