0:00.0 | Overthinkers, what was your most satisfying, told you so, moment? My boyfriend, who has zero |
0:07.5 | history of seizures, narrowly escaped dying from one because my overthinking led me to break into |
0:13.4 | his house when he didn't answer the phone. My overthinking had begun a few nights prior. He |
0:19.2 | mentioned that he bit his tongue in his sleep and woke up with a |
0:22.1 | bloody pillow and sore mouth, but he had no memory of it happening. That, for some reason, led my |

1:20.8 | Luckily, his door was unlocked. |
1:22.9 | I found him unconscious and unresponsive, lying on his back with the sticky remnants of foam all around |
