How do you stop overthinking in a relationship?
I analyze every text message my partner sends me. If they take too long to reply I start imagining worst case scenarios. This is exhausting and I know it's irrational but I can't stop. Any advice?

Try to notice when you're spiraling and ask yourself: what evidence do I actually have for this fear? Usually the answer is none.

Keep yourself busy. Overthinking happens when you have too much mental space. Exercise, hobbies, and social life help a lot.
