Any girls have tips on how to not overthink in relationships? My bf and I are having to do long distance for the summer and i find my self overthink a lot and really don’t want to let it bother me this much

it helps me to remind myself i am not powerless in the moment. i’m a pretty jealous person after some trauma. when i remind myself that i still have power in the choices i make, power over thoughts i have, and power in my autonomy it helps a lot.

also reminding myself that i’m strong enough to go thru painful experiences. sometimes if the thoughts feel overwhelming i’ll use the “leaves on a stream” method where you acknowledge the thought and then let it drift down the stream rather than ruminating on it. if none of those work i dip my face in ice water to reset my brain (it sounds crazy but it works every time when i’m spiraling out)

I’ve been trying really hard not to let stuff like this happen to me because nothing he’s doing is wrong and I know he’s loyal to me and wouldn’t cheat on me or do anything stupid idk why my mind does this
