# The Spiral

Your answers are high across the board, and it's costing you sleep, focus, or peace. When overthinking runs this hot it usually overlaps with anxiety. Talking to a psychologist can give you concrete ways to step out of the loop.

What this usually looks like

* A mind that won't switch off
* Replaying and worst-casing at once
* It's affecting sleep and focus

## Want practical ways to quiet the loop?

This is a self-reflection check, not a diagnosis. Persistent overthinking can overlap with anxiety; a psychologist can help.
