Overthinking is a state of mind where you feel that there is no vaccum . There is no end to the thoughts . You feel as if a sentence do not have a full stop . Your brain is fully loaded with the burden of revolving words that travel slowly from your brain to your eyebrows and forehead . You feel tension at your brows . You scream to escape but you are so much entangled in the viscous circle of thoughts that freedom appears to be unattainable. The major thing is that there is no criteria of event which can make you overthink . It’s your own personality that drags you to that mental status . However that personality depends on one’s circumstances , environment and parenting and may be alot more things . But one feels helpless .
