> contemplate all your choices in life. You make that sound like it is a good thing

• simonswords82 3y ago
  Depends on what choices you have made up to that point I'd say!

    Also depends on whether there's an end to it. Personally, my problem isn't the choices - it's that when I start to contemplate them, I end up thinking in circles within circles, forever looping with no change in sight.

      Are there any thoughts you're avoiding on purpose? This is what happens to me when I'm trying not to think of something uncomfortable.

        Trying to surface those ones is often how I got into the loops. As in, the uncomfortable thoughts were found, dealt with, and my mental process continued to run in circles, like in some videogames in which you have homing missiles fly in a circular "holding pattern" after losing target lock, until they reacquire or run out of fuel.

          May I suggest "Get out of your mind and on with your life"?

      Thought loops and general anxiety over making decisions is quite common for me. Having an alcoholic drink generally calms my mind for a bit, but I don't like to overdo it and think of it as a sort of "medication." I do enjoy being able to let my guard down a bit and sit with a clear head, though.

  That depends on what you choose to do next!
