I too have problems with overthinking in an ocd kinda way. I start spiraling down then start remembering all of the hurts that made me this way. My therapist has been great in teaching me different methods of distraction. However, i think i am overdoing the distraction - this last week i have been engrossed in more reading than i have in the last 5years. While im reading, im also watching tv- pretty much anything that looks interesting. Ive also been online intermittantly troubleshooting a problem with my windows update upsoftware. Its so bad its keeping me up throughout the night and ive only been getting to bed in the morning (8am,10:30am) tthen waking early afternoon (1pm,2pm). My therapist mentioned it might be hypomania, but ive been on 3 antidepressants for more than a year. If i had bipolar ii it would have shown up a long time ago. Can anybody help? Could it just be an extreme form of anxiety? My therapist isnt sure and i dont see my pdoc for a few more weeks.
