It’s not one thought, it’s not necessarily compulsive, or really even something that happens within a pattern. It’s just a defeatist attitude is what it comes down to. Over-thinking causes me anxiety and the inability to produce or progress something. It’s like it all comes down to a halt because I spend too much time worrying about it. We all over-think from time to time, but I live in a repetitious way I suppose…
I get stuck over-thinking my past, which is something I can’t control, but also can’t accept.
Any hobby I attempt to endure doesn’t go far because I’m over-thinking all of it’s aspects. Therefore, I don’t make it far enough because I over-thought every aspect.
I just wish there was an off switch so I wouldn’t care and just go with it.

thoughts become ideas then become a wasteland of ramblinng incoherent mumbo jumbo.literally.nothing gets done nothing is happening;everything is happening in the mind, which leads me exactly to where i am and was and continue to be if i do not get outta of my head. No job yet had oppurtunities,no six pack abs yet plenty of tyme,no skills yet plenty of talent.So i waste away on cigarettes,cheap vodka and a girlfriend who has been with me for a couple months after I being soooooooooo alone for a few years that will leave if this self destructive path continues.Laziness procrastination fear social awkwardness self conxcious etc… All in the head.JUST WANNA LET GO AND BE FREE from the chains of thought/mind matrix.GoodLuck

My mind is just going around in circles all the time just thinking abou things that I rather not think about. It gets to the point that at night I can’t sleep. I’ve tried meditating to clear my mind, but it doesn’t work as well as I would want it too.

I think and worry about things to the point I make myself sick. Things I have absolutely no control over. All I want is to be happy but I’ve suffered from depression on and off since I was 11 and I’m finding it so hard.
I dwell on things too much and I over analyse everything and I can’t deal with things howI want to. I just want to be happy.

There is no way I will be able to stop doing this, but I sure would like to. I overthink everything. It would be so much easier if I just stopped thinking about decisions, plans, vacations, yard designing, etc etc. When I have to make a decision about something, I completely immerse myself in information so my decision can be as educated as possible. It would be easier to just sit back and have the attitude of “Whatever happens, happens. The sun will still rise tommorrow.”

i guess this is what you need when you want to stop overthinking. i’ve been an overthinker all my life probably due to the fact that i’m an only child. it had cost me my relationships which in turn awakened me to the need to stop it.
im training myself to stop overthinking a negative thought (coz most of the time the thought is negative) on it’s tracks.. it’s first step- STOP. then i replace it with another thought- a lighter one or just an ordinary non-threatening thought. after that, i just start doing things like read a book, watch tv or dvd, clean the house, etc. always be vigilant and stop the thought right away and don’t allow yourself to think about it at all. though it’s hard, you need to sacrifice your need to overthink. i guess i found myself ‘enjoying’ my overthinking coz i thought (and i was dead wrong) that im gaining valuable insight if i overthink/overanalyze something. the only thing i did was cloud my mind with uneccessary shit. so i have to take away that novelty of overthinking. and finally, patience. i can’t change overnight. ive been doing this for years and years so i really have be patient.
i can do this!! =)

Hey I suffer from over thinking terribly. Sometimes I make myself sick over it. Overthinking is beginning to ruin my relationships and trust in people! I want to stop analyzing everything. I find it so hard to stop. I don’t wanna keep putting myself through hell. I’ve been reading different things to help lessen this problem, hopefully I will get better.

And overthink many decisions that I must make for myself and for my family. So much so that I often talk myself out of doing things and end up not acting at all. This has caused me to remain stagnant in certain areas.
I must stop being afraid of the ” what if’s” and act.
