Do I Really Think Too Much?

I seem to have this problem every now and then where I get too far inside my own head. Do you ever feel like you are driving yourself insane? I hope I am not alone in this, otherwise...I should be concerned. It is rather frustrating to have a mind that will often not SHUT OFF! People always ask me what has put me in this mood. I can never answer. There is no one particular trigger that sends me into this sullen, morose, contemplative mood. For as long as I can remember I have been one to go into "hermit mode" and spend days and sometimes weeks from being social. I read, I dream, I sleep, I sulk, I cry and of course...I THINK. Is there really such a thing as thinking too much?

It is sometimes hard to discern this mood from actual depression. But I have had my times of being on antidepressants. I have spent years on them and part of this behavior still exists within me. I have to wonder if I really am losing it? Or is this just part of the complex person I am?

YAY! I can leave a comment! I have a tendancy to overthink things to death, too. Sometimes I have to quiet my head for a moment.

I agree with you on this. My mind never seems to shut off. I've been told over and over again that I over analyze everything in my life, but I can't help it. That’s just me.
