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.
