Overthinking? If not, what can be done? Friends, please help!

Ok. Sometimes people like to talk things out. And that’s ok too.

I still think minty is suffering an undue level of anxiety and that her PDoc should be consulted regarding this level of anxiety being reached over friendship/communication

Minty consider talking to your PDoc about how and when to prn take your xanax

@FreeLunch Pdocs don’t always prescribe drugs for issues. My pdoc knows how depressed I am and says raising the dose of my antidepressant won’t help. She wants me to work through it with my therapist

I wish I knew more about psychology so I can help, but I don’t know enough to address anxiety except with basic grounding techniques

And for me lorazepam helps a lot

I texted her.

She is not mad at me and doesn’t feel I ignored her. That was not the case at all @LilyoftheValley

You see, I had just made up a story in my head that I did ignore her because of terrible anxiety and I was overthinking everything. It’s a chemical imbalance in my case.

I asked her about this directly. I’m sorry that happened to you coco but I didn’t do that.

Ignoring someone intentionally is just not something that I personally did or would intentionally do to hurt someone. I’m not a bad person.

When you said I should make amends for the wrong I really felt so awful and panicked.

The reason she has been quiet is that she has a major physical illness. Is on disability too. Causes her to be exhausted a lot.

So, she has been especially exhausted last few days. That’s why she has barely texted. She has been sleeping a ton.

My anxiety disorders are out of control. It’s a chemical imbalance. Like @FreeLunch said.

I need to work at taking my prn better. I never use it and I should obviously.

My dr encouraged me to at last appointment.

Thanks everyone friends @anon63380492 very much too for the nice support I appreciate it. And @dreamer54 as well.

Coco there is nothing to forgive you need to unwind and relax and recognize how many people here care for you. Your opinion is always appreciated
I could have easily been wrong and I heard what you said. You were being careful.

Sorry. Busy day! Had an unexpected home repair needed and it was an all day event.

No need to be sorry @LilyoftheValley ! It’s fine. I appreciate your input! :slightly_smiling_face:

Thank you all again so much.

I took a prn earlier today. I feel better. I guess I just need to take it when I need it.

Maybe she’s just having a bad day or really busy with work etc. or sleeping or sick etc etc could be 1000 different things. You never know what people are going through

Friendship is confusing at times. I am glad you spoke with your friend, and felt better.

I get into moods like this sometimes. What I keep realizing is that, 90% of the time, the perceived anger does not exist. The other 10% of the time, the anger is real, but nothing can be done about it unless the other person actually communicates their issue. That means that 100% of the time, the best approach is to assume they are not angry at me, and keep on acting like normal. If they are angry, this forces them to use a more direct approach. If they are not angry, this allows the relationship to continue smoothly.
