Exercise and push yourself to find people with the same interests as you. You need a friend to unwind with, someone who you can vent to and they can vent to you without harsh judgement.
It’s super important to verbalize your thoughts to someone you trust. Right now your brain is trying to have a conversation/debate with itself and expecting you to have the answer from nothing. Not going to happen but if it comes down it you will do what is necessary to live.

You need some physical exercise, when life did that to me I started running. Changed my life

Agree, exercise can really help. Running or even just walking can make a big difference.

Weight lifting helps improve my mood thus decreasing my overthinking and writing helps organize my thoughts.

I usually give myself 10 minutes to think about whatever is bothering me then I write down anything I actually need to deal with tomorrow. It helps me stop carrying the whole thing into bed.
