Don't overthink is actually a perfect response to people who overthink.
Look at the dozens of psychology articles about ruminating / brooding / overthinking and their psychological link to depression and anxiety.

Im absolutely amazed at all of the ways Islam helps temper our over thinking!
🔸Reflect over the benefits and the blessings
- of opportunity, garnering experience overcoming, blessing of it not being worse than it could have!
🔸Engaging in meaningful repetition remembrance dhikr
🔸Thinking positive of the Almighty
🔸Understanding when a hardship is not a punishment but a form of elevation! The Almighty tests those whom He *loves* the most!
🔸Recognizing the real effects of sins in one's life and consequences to cease and turn back to God
🔸Engaging in proactive action rather than emotional paralysis
🔸Finding self fulfillment in und the decree of God and His wisdom
Trust breeds solace & peace
🔸Allowing natural grieving in light of knowing the world and its pains are temporal
🔸Meaningful prayer being therapeutic
🔸Knowing the Almighty took you away from what harms you
🔸If the whole world came to benefit or harm you, none can do so without His permission!
🔸Knowing whatever was written for you will be received, and whatever misses you will never be attained
🔸Knowing *whatever* He wants for you is *always* the best, and knowing how much *we* harm ourselves
🔸Finding comfort in the stories of those who came before us and the examples they set in every human experience - Prophets, to Our Beloved, the Righteous, and also the wretched!
If I was not Muslim... I would accept Islam *purely* knowing how much this faith can only be fromthe Creator who has a formula for bringing a troubled heart solace and clarity to a clouded mind with clear guidance.
