Overthinking and Overanalyzing Posted: 07-28-07 12:28pm
question: for the past couple months i
have had trouble with
overthinking/overanalyzing every simple
aspect of life. i overthink my emotions
and why i feel the way i do. i also
overthink my reading/listening ability's.
when i do this i completely fall apart, i
begin to loose my ability to read, listen,
or feel my emotions properly! it is
exremely uncanny, and i do not know what
to do. when all this happens i feel
overwelmed with numerouse emotions such
as: anxiety, anger, depression,
frustration, cofussion, etc. i am a
christian and i have tried prayer,that
does not help:( i believe it is time for
medication. but what kind of disorder is
this?? what is happening to me?

you dont need drugs to make you normal
i think your just stressed
has something traumatic happened to you
recently that could have caused this?

hmmm
so you almost...think too deeply about
life and everything revolved around it?
well your brain is very powerful and can
make you think or do anything
youve gotta block it out
when that happens say "stop it!"
or maybe if you went to a doctor they
could help you find a way to get these
deep feelings off your mind without meds
or maybe even with an herbal supplement
Could a repetitive thought or action help
break this cycle?

if you give yourself a reason to believe a
certain thought that contradicts your
overthinking, i think that it could. it's
all a matter of encouraging yourself and
setting up an atmosphere that encourages
that good thought. if you question your
reading, maybe don't read until you feel
more comfortable about it. you could try
writing a list "i shouldn't overanalyze
because...." and pick one or two to say to
yourself when you do start overthinking.
then keep yourself busy with something
fun. sometimes when you overthink, you
might think "nothing's pleasant and i'll
overquestion it" but if you give it a few
tries and some time it's really not that
true, though you'll still probably be an
analytical person.

Rakim - Whats Goin on
Helps me refuse to buy weed some days...
And im really not the type to be
influenced by non sonical anaphones in
music, to be analytic
The way I stop myself over thinking and
analysing is giving my mind too much too
handle...probably the equivalent of
crossing wires or something.
Listen to Amon Tobin....or other
"sourceful" and visually notated kinds of
music to suit your mood. Really makes me
wanna shut the eff up and appriciate
talent.....for around 5 mins
after that I usually just think in my mind
and pay no attention.....probably gonna do
some harm.
Just try and make some of it witty so you
have some material to use for the future.
I dunno man...

Try not to think your 'over-thinking' is a
disadvantage. You can make it work to your
own advantage aswell. Your obviously very
itelligent/imaginative like alot of
anxiety/depression sufferers, but I think
you should try every other route before
medication... as that can make alot of
users feel kind of
unemotional/vague/numb... which is worse
in my oppinion and might upset you more.
It also comes with physical symptoms in
the beginning and through withdrawl.
Try looking up meditation techniques or
breathing techniques. Exercise and an
improved diet can also help no end. And my
personal favourite is yoga
Hope you feel better soon

cant do anything about it man, your mind
is just to powerful, simply embrace that
you can get down to the truth of
everything, and when you remember that
life is short and the end will come one
day no matter what, youll learn that all
that over analyzing simply doesnt matter,
and life is good.
