Tricia, I can't help noticing the radical change of focus here. In presenting your dual problems of worrying and over analyzing, you cite as an example the final warning you've been given at work. You don't want to be fired & have even considered resigning.

But in following through your initial thought that you worry & over analyze to the point of making yourself paranoid, you switch from your employment crisis to how good times you have with friends end with your looking for negatives and hidden agendas.

Could it be that some of the work problems are arising from personal relationships and professional issues being juxtaposed? Being friends with co-workers isn't the same thing as being friendly. There's a few grains of truth for many of us in that old adage about not going into business with a friend ... it really can complicate the day-to-day flow of the office.

Obviously I'm just guessing, but the jump from the job warning issue to the friend's agenda question just seems a big gap to me. IDK. But maybe think about it?
