I think to much also. I usualy think about everything and how it connects which usually fucks me over in good situations.
I know what you mean but then again you can think yourself into seeing all the possibilities and all the options available to you. the hardest part of life is overcoming our safety zones
Just watch this and you'll feel better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EIxGrIc_6g Much of philosophy thinks itself into walls and confuses this as arriving at truth. Never realizing that the only thing that they accomplished was create a circle that goes back to their original question. I sometimes over think, but not nearly as much as I used to. Eventually you learn how to silence your own mental chatter... People overthink because they believe that if they stopped thinking about whatever they are thinking about, then they are missing out on crucial information that can reveal a dreadful truth. In other words, they become paranoid about it, and keep delving in 'deeper' to find this truth... it's pretty obsessive, and believe me... you aren't going to find anything other than insanity. People tend to search the reasons why they do things: To find their own hidden agenda. But finding your own hidden agenda just isn't possible. Your 'agenda' just ensues by living life... Not to say that you shouldn't ponder why you do certain things, but not to a degree where it becomes obsessive.
I only get anxiety issues when I think too much about some social shindig that isn't really that big of a deal, and it sucks a shitload, I can throw up at anytime, and I have a hard time trying to stop it. Which in turn makes me anxious to end it, and so on. If it's anywhere near the same, I'm sorry for you man, it sucks. I'm also a lot like you in the sense of getting bugged by philisophical ideas, but I got over my existentialist phase; I do more thinking than living, and that's just the thing. If you go the route of constantly questioning life, by the time you get any answers it'll be over. It could be worth it, that's just up to you.
over thinking is great, worst things to come from it maybe depression, suicide and insanity together with suicide. but the great things include natural highs, such as realising a certain really cool factor and glowing from inside out. i love being insane, and i love other insane people. when your insane, your you, when your sane and normal youre just like everyone else. but sometimes i think everyone is fukt up, some people just pretend and block it out, others let it run through them and change the world
I use to think non stop, I also have ADHD. But I've learned to silence my mind, and I've learned to make myself aware when I start rambling off in my head.. and sometimes I loop myself into circles.. and that use to scare me.. but then I got over it.. and then my mind started rambling again. SHIT
