Is stopping overthinking even possible? I can overthink a simple conversation multiple times in my head . Even a simple interaction with a stranger . A late reply form my best friend could ruin my entire mood bcs im anxiously attached to her and I don't even love her romanticaly it's just platonic love . I replay every Convo with her . My mood just relies on her fuking replies and it kills me everytime . I go out of my way every single time for her . But sometimes I feel would she do the same? And that thought kills me . I know everyone doesn't reciprocate their love through the same things . Most of the times it's about her bf and her fighting nd very less about me . I ask follow up questions , but she doesn't the same way . And I can't break the friendship it means way too much to me , that person means way to much to leave . And probably i mean the same to her but her actions don't say the same .
Any ideas on how to remove anxious attachment and reduce overthinking cause it kinda disrupts my mind all day . I can physically feel my heart aching if I feel sad and somehow tears don't come out it just gets heavier inside . Even if I feel like crying I just can't .

I also used to overthink alot and here are some tips for you 
1) don't say to your mind to stop overthink cause it will instead overthink more cause your mind will focus on that 
2) every time your heart aches, play Bollywood party songs and dance, ik it's weird but it works for me(buy a disco lights from Amazon or from electronic shop and every night turn on that light and dance for probably 1 hour on Bollywood songs it will make your mood better) and avoid sad songs when you feel low cause it will play with your mind and mix that situation with the song which will further worse the situation 
3) go to gym if you aren't, drink plenty of water, basically focus on yourself 
4) don't scroll through the chats of you and your friend, don't wait for her reply, and if you feel like you are in love with her then you are screwed 
5) FOCUS ON YOURSELF!!!! Yes again, focus on yourself, once you start working on yourself your brain naturally stops over thinking, just focuses on yourself and naturally every other relationships feels like nothing literally nothing 
6) Eat your favourite food, when you eat delicious foods you automatically start feeling happy again, idk there must be some psychological relationship between food and happiness but yes this works
7) if you are in school, STUDYY, like study a lot, ik you don't feel like studying in these situations but hey, stare at the wall for 10 mins, then chug some energy drinks or coffee or basically your favourite thing and start right away. And after each successful session treat yourself 
8) think yourself as the main character, this trick does work, if you think yourself as main character these things stops bothering you cause for you, you are the most important person
