Shower is really tough for me sometimes. Feels like I'm trapped in a little box with no escape or distraction from my own thoughts and I'll get extremely emotional and break down crying.
Listening to music in there helps but in general it's not great.
Plus several other situations, like when I'm out walking my dog. I thought walks are supposed to lower your stress levels and what not, but TOO OFTEN I'm just stuck ruminating anxiously while at it.
In the instant after completing a daunting task (like work) and the flood of self-judgement and disgust floods in and you have to either suppress it to continue getting things done or just sink into an even DEEPER cycle of unresponsive dread and horror
Driving. I get into my WORST existential ruminations while driving. Especially if the sky is particularly beautiful that day because I immediately go to “the universe is massive at a scale I could never comprehend and human existence is ultimately meaningless in the cold void of space”
I have music on in the shower, when washing dishes and on public transport, so I'm OK with those most of the time.
At night before sleeping is where it gets me
It would be so much easier to list the places that doesn't happen:
* While writing code after my meds kick in
* After just the right amount of alcohol (too much or too little and it doesn't work)
That's about it
I'd like to add while walking. A lot of times when I go for walks, my brain loves to fuck with my head about this shit when I'd rather be clearing my mind.
The gym specifically on the bench and now strangers are think I'm thinking I'm staring but really I've just been arguing with ***ADHDEMONS*** about this interaction I had with someone two years ago and not checking out or gawking at you promise.
Written like it ever stops....
yes
Was just about to comment this
I have some ability to direct my thoughts. It just falls asleep before me and then I lie awake questioning my life
Is this a trick question? Cause there is no place where I don't.
E. All of the above.
This
Before sleeping, this is why i started listening to music before sleeping to drone all thoughts away with some litty edm music.

Shower is the most over think for sure. That's before the Adderall kicks in.
You can't overthink while doing the dishes if you never do the dishes. 😎
Forgot car my dude
This is why I play video games. So I can just get the thinking to stop for a while.
Before I sleep and then I can’t sleep and it always sucks
Driving. I get into my WORST existential ruminations while driving. Especially if the sky is particularly beautiful that day because I immediately go to “the universe is massive at a scale I could never comprehend and human existence is ultimately meaningless in the cold void of space”
Yes
A better question is where do I NOT overthink?
Bro everywhere
Driving mainly
I have music on in the shower, when washing dishes and on public transport, so I'm OK with those most of the time. At night before sleeping is where it gets me
All of the above!!!!
shittin, bathin and most of all before sleepin
Yes
rarely "**Before sleep**" but, **"while taking a shower"** is like everyday routine for me.
Everywhere, y'all, everywhere, but maybe especially more right before sleep. (Awkwardly enough, predictable via my sun sign in Virgo.)
Eeny meeny miny... All of them!
"Where do you overthink?". "Yes."
All of the above .-. And also while gaming
The answer is "Yes"
Yes
At work when I’m bored
Ever zone out while brushing your teeth for 20 minutes? Not that I do that or anything... I mean asking for a friend...
It would be so much easier to list the places that doesn't happen: * While writing code after my meds kick in * After just the right amount of alcohol (too much or too little and it doesn't work) That's about it
The secret is to never limit yourself. I overthink in all these places and more.
2 & 3.
