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 extremely 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?

Have you tried cbt? It is remarkable for slowing your mind down and teaching you how to learn to live in the present and retrain your brain to reduce anxiety if you work on the exercises. If you don't want to see a therapist pick up a copy of been there, done that? Do this! By sam obitz and start doing the tea form exercise in it. We used this book in my cbt group. Take care and know you can get better if you work on the cbt exercises. The more you work on the exercises the more relief you get. Good luck!

that sounds alot like what i have -- ADHD. My current medication is Ritalin LA. I can't work long hours, be around stressful environments, trouble sleeping or staying awake, and overthinking/analyzing everything. It feels like i'm trying to watch a television show with the clicker broke where it switches channels every 2 minutes. I tried everything before ending up on meds, but it has been easier to deal with. A regular doctor can't diagnose you with it, but a psychologist or psychiatrist can. The test costs in the range of 300 to 500, but its worth it if you think there is a serious problem.

Cbt is good for getting you out of the habit of over analyzing or over thinking things.
