Hello, and welcome to editing Wikipedia. I hope you will have a successful time here. However, there are unfortunately several problems with you first edits, at Overthinking (disambiguation).
 * 1) A disambiguation page is just a mechanism for directing readers to the page they are looking for when there's more than one page to which the title they have searched for might apply; it is not a place to post substantive text on the subject of its title.
 * 2) Much of what you posted had the character of a personal essay or commentary, giving a point of view on the subject. Wikipedia articles should be written from a neutral point of view, and should provide only verifiable objective fact, not somebody's opinion, analysis, or original thought on a subject.
 * 3) Wikipedia article content should be supported by references to reliable sources, to enable verificiation of that content. You did not provide any sources for what you posted.
 * 4) It is almost never suitable to copy content from another web site to Wikipedia, for more than one reason, the most important being copyright. When you post anything to Wikipedia you release it for anyone in the world to reuse it, either unchanged or modified in any way whatever, subject to attribution to Wikipedia. It is very rare that the owner of a web site licenses content for such very free reuse, and in those few occasions when they do so, we require proof of the fact. We don't assume that content is freely licensed on the unsubstantiated say so of just anyone who comes along and creates a Wikipedia account. JBW (talk) 11:40, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

I see that while I was preparing my message above you added a link to a blog to the disambiguation page. You formatted the link as a reference, but (1) it was not a reference for any content of the page; (2) references don't belong in disambiguation pages; (3) personal blogs are not reliable sources, as anyone can create a blog and post anything they like there, so blogs are almost never suitable as references for Wikipedia content; (4) all things considered, it looks very much as though your purpose in posting the link was to publicise the blog, which is contrary to Wikipedia's policy against use of Wikipedia for promotion.

 * No I just wanted add the content regarding overthinking there. The source is not a personal blog the topic here is overthinking and adding content in such a sensitive topic is no harm I guess.
 * there is personal benefit here as I am just a mental health activist. X2123y2 (talk) 11:53, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

I have now looked more thoroughly at the page you have repeatedly linked to, and I see that although it calls itself a blog, it is not a personal blog, but a web site promoting an app. Linking to promotional sites is in some ways even less appropriate than linking to personal blogs. It is becoming increasingly clear that your only purpose in editing Wikipedia is to publicise the content of that blog, whether by copying-promotional way or by linking to it. You are, of course, very welcome to start contributing to Wikipedia in a neutral, non-promotional way, but if your only interest is in promoting that material, then Wikipedia isn't the right place for you to do it. Wikipedia is not a medium for activism or for promoting csuses, no matter how noble those causes may be. JBW (talk) 11:57, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
