A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

No you don't. You want to learn how to properly run your hardware.

  • anxiety serves a purpose, forces your fight or flight response, develops survival instinct

  • memory is not meant to be heidetic as not everything is vital information; you want to remember what you had for lunch when you were 3 years old, on a tuesday, mid january?

  • failures are more important than successes; failure teaches you what does not work.

Run your hardware better. Have some therapy, try to sleep more/better and go for a daily walk.

Remembering every day of your life is not eidetic memory but Hyperthymesia. Anxiety serves a purpose if there's a danger. If it's prolonged and the danger is some thought inside your head no it doesn't.

New word of the day. Thank you.

Anxiety serves a purpose if there's a danger. If it's prolonged and the danger is some thought inside your head no it doesn't.

Learn how to manage your hardware better. Get some therapy.

Been fighting anxiety since 1996 with therapy and drugs. So far, she won.

Don't quit.

Sincerely hope you can resolve that issue.
