Hello all!

Just a heads up that this isn’t a book related post, more of a personal one.

While I currently go into the behind the scenes stuff publicly, it made me realise that when my mind is on something, it sticks it’s claws into it and never lets go.

At the moment I’ve done what I can do and I can’t do anything until I get a response from somebody, so I’ve been busy thinking of stuff to do around it like thinking about future plans. I’ve got the point it has become obsessive that I am trying my best to take my mind off the subject, then something happens and I am back on the subject once more.

Take my 2 week solo trip to Japan last November as an example, I had booked it in November 2023 and was overthinking the holiday throughout the whole year until the holiday, counting down the days to those around me & going over my plans to the small detail. If overthinking was an actual real life thing, it’s a mountain same size as Mt Fuji (pictured)

It’s a bad habit of mine, it really is. I was like this prior to my transition, overthinking about how people will see me and “am I doing this right, what do other girls do?”. I suppose I still care about what people think about me, but nowhere near the levels I was at in my early adult years.

Does anyone else overthink?
