Second-guessing yourself is exhausting. It is a full-time job to constantly replay conversations or situations in your head, judging yourself and thinking, “if only I had done this,” “that was so stupid,” or “why couldn’t I do this right.” Mixing that with having trouble sleeping, questioning your identity or worth, and other responsibilities can make it difficult to get through the day. Little things that did not bother you one day could leave you feeling like you are spiraling out of control. You might have found some things that work to distract you, but in the end, the feelings come back, and you feel lost.
