Minds choke hold

My thoughts put me in a choke hold, it's as if there is a invisible noose around my neck and its only getting tighter and tighter. Sometimes they say, fight fire with fire and that's what I'm doing, my thoughts can also loosen the noose and free me from its hold but most days it tightens it up until I can't breath no more. I usually tend to over think any situation I come across and that's one of the links that make this noose tighter, over thinking. It can really do some damage to a persons self esteem and confidence. It's late at night and your mind is on full speed, thinking about all the worst possibility of any situation you feed it. Nine times out of ten, you are over exaggerating the problem, I know this because it has happen to me several times, instead of taking action I sit there and think about it but this doesn't make things worse all the time but it does most of time. My thoughts begin to race and all the negative outcomes start pouring in and it makes me worry and stress to the point where I can't take it anymore. Its all in your mind they say, you know what? They're right, my mind is a joker, it loves to play with my head and make me think about something that's not gonna happen nor exist. I found a few ways to fight this feeling, I chose to write, and so far it has worked wonders for me. Another option you can have is music, I love music and playing your favorite song can help out a lot! But I think the best one of all is having someone to talk to, having someone who understands you, if you have that, I promise you everything will be okay and if you can't find anyone, I'm right here my friend.
