I'm So Sick Of Overthinking Text Messages — And Everything Else
 
Maybe this sounds familiar: Samm Burnham Davidson finds it way too easy to get sucked into obsessing over text messages and other interactions, worrying about what the other person is thinking. "I spend so much time — too much time — trapped in thought patterns about what other people think," she writes. "I get lost in mental scenarios, where I convince myself that people are perceiving me a certain way."

In an attempt to get out of her own head about it, she's turned to a simple mantra, borrowed from her therapist. Check it out and see if it might work for you.

She was surprised at just how tough she found her first July 4th after her split: "I'd be fine one moment, and the next I'd find myself crying, my head down on my steering wheel because I'd see a family crossing the street holding mini flags." She reminds you to check in on your divorced friends – and to give them space if they need it, too.
