The nightmare of circular thinking that used to lead to panic attacks before I actually addressed my ADHD [Meme]

Straight up the last time this feedback loop happened to me was before I started the meds I'm on. Now it's easier to break the loop because I can focus on other things rather than find myself hyper fixating on hyper fixating.

Edit: Usually it was caused by me overthinking on a social situation that I was sure I messed up in some way, that I ended up messing up because I was thinking I was messing it up so I tried to be more not me.

Do you mean the Sound of Music instead of Gone with the Wind?

But, yes, doing something absurd to help with the spiraling really does help!

yes, thank you

If you have the time to spare, I've No More Fucks to Give by Thomas Benjamin Wild Esq is a great song that helps me sometimes.
