So I'm trying to keep myself from overanalyzing a situation and figured I would start a post just to say hi to distract myself! How is everyone doing today? Good I hope. I know how much depression/anxiety sucks and I've been pretty good for the past week. Hoping it stays that way, but getting nervous.

How is everyone else doing?

Hi Spaceid.
Are you an overanalyst too? lol I have been told I think too much, but I just can't seem to stop.
I am not so great tonight. I don't want to go to bed because I don't want to be alone with just my thoughts. There are a few upsetting things in the back of my mind tonight, and if I can't fall asleep right away, they will all gang up on me and give me sincere unrest.
I hope things stay good for you too.

I know that feeling! I have school all day tomorrow, must go to bed, but can't stop thinking. It really is terrible.

I hope you can get some sleep. A couple of weeks back I wasn't getting any sleep, so I know the frustration. I eventually had to start seeing a psychotherapist just to put my mind at rest. I was nervous about it, but its not so bad and really helped. Hopefully the night will get better for you too.

Ah yes, this is something I'm trying to be so careful not to do; over analyzing my situation and making bigger of it than what it really is. Such a thing will only drag you further down. Right now, I believe what's with me is too much extra time on my hands; I'm unemployed at the moment and this extra time seems to make me want to dwell on negatives. I think things will be better once I find work or a good volunteer opportunity.

Having free time is terrible when you also overanalyze. Do you also lose interest in things you want to do? I do. So it is hard to get my mind off of the subjects because I don't feel like doing anything anyway. So then I just think.

I too over-analyze and this has lost me friends and boyfriends. I am currently in a relationship and have tried my best to not-over-analyze but it is a huge struggle. I find myself popping xanax at work just to calm my mind down. I realize there is a lot of suffering in the world but people that don't over-analyze things have no idea how lucky they are. Some days just really suck.

I've been feeling blue for a while now, but am trying to work my way through it. This place really helps.
Right now my mind is fluttering all over the place because my boyfriend said he'd be here by now, and it's been almost an hour.
Yeah - I over-think too. I over-process, over-analyze and panic. I've been home all day in my thoughts, which can be toxic. Been writing a bit and it helps. But I can't seem to make myself do more...

I have summer break coming up and the thought of having so much free time scares me. I know if I don't figure out some things now between me and this guy the over analyzing will go into hyperdrive. It is terrible.

*waves* free time messes me up too, for what it's worth. I never know what to do with myself really

I like the idea of this thread! I feel ok but slightly bothered today, looking forward to a possible picnic if it doesn't rain on us and if my boy can get out of work early enough =)
And trying not to get mad at myself for procrasting on work tehee!

I'm still in a lot of pain since yesterday fight :-/

[AvidReader]

I'm not doing so hot. Today started badly, got a little better (thanks to the kind folks here at PC), and then slid downhill. I'm fighting the urge to go to bed after I pick my kids up from school. I really can't do this; I'm under two very tight deadlines and have huge piles of laundry to do, plus dinner, etc., but I can feel the depression closing in on me. And it's getting mixed in with paralyzing anxiety about my work deadlines.

Oh my goodness. So frustrated right now. Mostly at myself. I can't start analyzing now. I let myself have some tears, but now I must study. Mucho importante!

[spaceid]

Wow, really angry at myself. I blew this perfect opportunity today. What was I thinking? I even knew better at the time. Feeling like a word right now that I'm pretty sure I can't post on this forum.
