How to not care about anything?

[Anonymous]

My only problem is that I overthink all the time , I’m scared that something bad is going to happen, I got anxiety and ocd from it and can’t live happily because of this, not to mention there’s no therapies here or therapists.

While it's not possible to completely stop caring about things, there are several strategies you can try to manage your anxiety and overthinking:

• Practice mindfulness: Focus on the present moment and let go of thoughts about the past or future.
• Exercise regularly: Physical activity can help reduce stress and anxiety.
• Challenge negative thoughts: Question the evidence and logic behind them, and try to find a more positive perspective.
• Connect with others: Talking to friends or family can help you feel more supported and reduce feelings of isolation.
• Try relaxation techniques: Deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, and visualization can help you relax and reduce stress.
• Keep a journal: Writing down your thoughts and feelings can help you process them and make them less overwhelming.

Remember that seeking help from a therapist is a strength and not a weakness. If you don't have access to a therapist, you can try online counseling services or self-help resources.

sounds like anxiety and fear of the future. there's a lot you can learn about yourself if explore that topic and solutions. good advice below.

healing your heart of the past is generally teh solution. children are sensitive and some more than others. emotionally impacting events can create such anxieties. some of it may just be the power of your mind & personality... never able to stop thinking.

I think God/faith/prayer and such can be helpful aides to redirect your energies to the positive. lookup Jewel's healing program... it's free at last check

You could try mindfulness practices to learn to separate your consciousness from your thoughts, learn that thinking about the limit of your mortality is just your brain sending pop-up ads and learn to just dismiss them and move on.

excessive childhood criticism can create cycles of overthinking. survival mechanism the brain uses to try to “think” our way out of danger through obsessive worst case scenarios. What helped me was writing about those thoughts

I have a friend that likes to say, "I live my life by 2 rules, 1. I don't worry about the small things in life" and 2. Everything in life is small". I used to be a bit like you till I decided to adopt his philosophy, and it's served me pretty well over the years. I used to worry so much I'd give myself stomach aches. But when you realize how much in life simply is NOT in your control you learn to just stop worrying. Control the controllables in life. And just forget the rest.

I think I have something similar, I don't know how to get rid of it but it's gotten better as I got closer to God, I used to walk around with a gun in my hoodie and the gun was always in my hand in my hoodie so it was effecting me a lot but since I put my trust in God I still carry my gun but sometimes I don't even chamber it so it's a lot better now, let's be honest we always guide ourselves to a dead end somehow.

You do care though. But your issue is anxiety - not care.

Cut down your caffeine and sugar intake. Adopt a healthier lifestyle. That will cut down the factors affecting your mental stimulation.

Then you need to keep a diary and write down your thoughts and day plan. Every weekend go over it and you'll figure that a lot of what you worried about was small and insignificant things.

That part is easy. It is the guilt afterwards that bothers (those who could procreate but didn't).

Ot maybe it bothers others to lose from good ones from the gene pool.

Who'd know with certainty? Don't say 'the oracle', I am not into pills nor into rabits nor into movies nor into history repeating.

There is more than enough awful shit in the world and in life without manufacturing extra stuff to worry about.

Try using this helpful and easy to use flow diagram;

Is something actually on fire right now?

YES: Put the fire out.

NO: No action required.

I really feel for you! Answers here may help a little, but for real help, therapy is the only answer. With none in your area, I suggest online. There are many therapists who started online during the pandemic and have continued online. Give it a try!

Lose someone you love that can help,


I lost my Nan and now I couldn’t give a s**t about anything or anyone now, the only thing I care about is keeping this house standing.

I only worry about the things you can control, and take each day as it comes at face value. Focus on the things in you're life that you do have and set goals to movtiate yourself into being the best version of yourself that you can be.

Learn to be stoic, what the worse that can happen? not uncommon for girls to overthink.

[Guy13]

It sounds like to me that you ought to go make an appointment to sit with a counselor.

[Wise4myage]

Have you talked to a doctor about these issues?

[malwins]
