Depends on what choices you have made up to that point I'd say!
- TeMPOraL 3y agoAlso 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.
- flkenosad 3y agoAre there any thoughts you're avoiding on purpose? This is what happens to me when I'm trying not to think of something uncomfortable.
- TeMPOraL 3y agoTrying 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.

- wussboy 3y agoMay I suggest "Get out of your mind and on with your life"?
- progmetaldev 3y agoThought 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.
