11 Struggles Overthinkers Are Too Familiar With

Whether it's genetic or not, overthinking drains you -- mentally, physically, and emotionally. You can't focus on anything else because your brain is full of irrational thoughts. It might legitimately be the worst thing in the world. Well maybe not the worst because there's other very important issues in the world that need more attention, like ending world hunger, but it still sucks nonetheless.

So for all you overthinkers, overanalyzers, and worriers, this is to remind you that, "Hey, it's okay, it happens and you're not alone." But, for those of you who are blessed with the ability to not overthink, here is what goes on for people on the opposite end of the spectrum:

1. That feeling in your stomach, the infamous pit.


2. Way too many "therapeutic" talks with friends.


3. Eating food to distract yourself.


4. Complete lack of focus and motor skills.


5. Not knowing what exactly is going on is slowly beginning to make you go insane.


6. Praying, because if anyone can help it's the Big Man Upstairs.


7. Contemplating options for solving the situation, some better than others.


8. Realizing you are acting ridiculous, yet you can't stop.


9. Taking out your irrational emotions on your friends.


10. Laughing hysterically, because you know how crazy seem right now.


11. Finally admitting defeat and realizing that whatever happens happens but you don't care anymore (and blasting "I.D.F.W.U." by Big Sean or "Really Don't Care" by Demi Lovato helps A LOT).

Overthinking will ruin your day: DON'T DO IT. Well, you're gonna do it anyway because if you're wired the way I am you just can't help it. And yep it absolutely sucks, but hey there are some funny gifs to help us get through it. We all have to have a little more faith and trust, which is easier said than done but we'll get there...one day, hopefully...probably not...well maybe...eventually.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
