Over-thinking and analyzing things to death are part of the whole bipolar experience, I'm afraid. We're experts at it. What helps me is to imagine a big red STOP sign and saying the word to myself loudly and firmly; doing so usually flips a switch in my brain to the OFF position, and I can go on to think about something else. It doesn't work 100% of the time, but it's always worth trying.
