I overthink everything to the point of paralysis. Here's my pattern: [describe what triggers overthinking, how long spirals last, physical symptoms, what you ruminate about, and previous attempts to stop]. Don't tell me to "just stop thinking about it" - if I could, I would. Instead, map my overthinking architecture: what type of overthinker am I (analysis paralysis, catastrophizer, ruminator, or perfectionist planner), what am I trying to control by overthinking (what's the illusion of control here?), what would happen if I just acted without all this mental simulation, what I'm avoiding by staying in my head (action, vulnerability, failure, success?), and the specific fear driving each spiral. Identify the pattern: trigger → spiral starts → what question starts the loop → how deep it goes → what ends it (exhaustion, distraction, or resolution?). Then decode the function: is overthinking protecting me from something or punishing me for something? Create the intervention toolkit: the "spiral circuit breaker" for my specific pattern (the question, action, or ritual that stops MY spiral), the decision-making framework that cuts through the noise (for my brain specifically), the thought diffusion techniques that work when logic doesn't, the somatic practice that pulls me out of my head, and the "good enough" decision training (practicing choosing without perfect information). Include: the question I'm really trying to answer under all the overthinking, what I'm afraid I'll discover if I stop thinking and start feeling, and the truth about whether my overthinking has ever actually prevented a bad outcome or just stolen time from my life.
