Obsessive thinking disorder..lost in myself

I agree with the first post. I'm bipolar with a chemical imbalance ( for 17 years now )and my brain is constantly swirling with thoughts and emotions. My mood can change any second with no warning to those around me. Its tough sometimes. I have been on meds in the past, but haven't taken any for years. The side effects weren't worth it to me. Talk to your doctor and see what he/she thinks

I feel exactly the same. I find music helps to gradually turn my moods around. My family is sort of blackmailing me into getting counselling from a mental health centre at the moment, but don't worry, obsessive thinking and extreme mood inbalance are just small factors as to why they are making me do this I think. But in some ways I think they're the basis of the other reasons.

I used to be like that since I was 16. But, are you sure you're not depressed or mad about something? troubles at home or with friends maybe?
Cause I was unhappy that time.. till I realized those tiny things that upset me are not really worth thinking about anymore

I'm an obsessive thinker, and I've been trying to research and see what I can do to get control of this. I tend to over analyze everything, and I fixate on little things, constantly. I'm always worrying about things, because I over think it, and I feel as though its affecting my work ethic. I would LOVE if someone could tell me if this is normal, and if not, what can be done.

I think way too much as well, and I can go from really happy after a great moment and think about it from another perspective and begin sobbing. Mine is certainly situational, but other things could trigger this too.

My mind never rests and it drives me mad sometimes. I'm not sure if it's normal, but I'm the same.

It's ok.i have a disorder that constantly keeps me worring too!you'll be fine,i promise!!!!

You might have generalized anxiety disorder. I'm pretty sure that I do too. I have a constant internal voice that never shuts up.

Same thing happens to me, thoughts just get scattered and then bleakness takes over ... just wanna chill by myself when it happens

TOTALLY NORMAL!! i think ALL the time, my mind NEVER takes a rest! HAHAH

I can totally relate.

Yes, actually...One can think too much for sure. There is a natural remedy for that called White Chestnut Flower Essence: http://www.rainbowcrystal.com/bach/bfr/wc.html

If you are not able to get your mood swings under control, you might want to look into bi-polar (aka "manic depression") disorder. This can be treated with drugs or naturally.

I recommend always opting for natural treatments first to try to bring oneself back into a healthy balance. Diet and exercise can play a big role too. True healing can be obtained holistically with lifestyle changes and natural treatments.

Drug therapies however are often just a crutch that treats the symptoms, but does not heal the root of the problem.

Either way, imbalances are normal. Just seek healing and treatment for yourself before it gets worse. It is not normal for it to get out of control. You do not want to live a miserable life with dysfunctional relationships in which you end up hurting yourself or others, then go ahead and address the problem now in it's early stages.

When you say obsessive, do you mean you think deeply, or you drastically assume the worst out of a situation?
