25 Hilarious Memes For People Who Are Likely to Have an Existential Crisis at 3 a.m. In The Morning
Nothing is easy for an agonizing brain because it never shuts down. Even when the situation is not as dire, the tendency to create dramatic outcomes in our heads leads to burnout. Overthinking often leads to anxiety and panic attacks, which may be difficult to overcome without seeking medical help. "73% of 25 to 35-year-olds chronically overthink, along with 52% of people aged 45 to 55. In many cases, overthinking could show up as rumination, which often involves perseverating on past events and even the present with a negative mindset," per Forbes.
