I will start to do something now! (It always helps me to stop overthinking when I am able to do somehing else. The problem is to find the moment to do it).

Bet wishes to all!
That's okay, GoGo2. Sometimes we just need to "be". Either sit and contemplate something pleasant, or even momentarily strive for a state of "nothingness/vacuity", "Śūnyatā", in Buddhism. Śūnyatā is not a bad thing at all. It has nothing to do with worth. I see it as a state of freedom of the things that clutter our mind, or almost like the blissful beauty of a dreamless sleep. Achieving it, to me, is a good coping skill.
