How can a person deal with over thinking?

Asked by LazyMe10 (515points) July 30th, 2018

I’m not sure if I’ve asked this before or not but I’ll ask anyways.
I over think badly to the point where my anxiety kicks in and then depression and then possible suicidal thoughts. Which depends on the situation and usually I talk it out with someone.

But there are times when thoughts pop into my head & make me feel sad and also possibly hating my life.
Like how I’m in debt, how I don’t have a degree, how I’m working hard but sometimes doesn’t feel good enough, how everyone I know is living somewhatly a happy life or traveling, how I need to get back into school but I can’t cause of debt, how I might not reach my goals cause of debt or how sometimes I can’t go places cause I don’t have money and I use it to pay bills and keep myself alive, etc.

It’s just a lot…I hate thinking this way. I do try to think positive thoughts at times but then the real world smacks me in the face. An reminds me that I’m a adult and I have to suffer cause of bs laws and bills. ( I know I’m going out there, I’m tired an typing this.)

But all advice is welcome on how to deal with this bs.

I know I over think many times. It’s due to my profession where I have to consider every conceivable possibility and note every detail, no matter how insignificant. That’s just me.

Just keep telling yourself, “It’s not that complicated, it’s not that complicated…” Really. Overly scrutinizing something is like studying a work of art at point blank range. If you step back a ways, you can see the whole picture.
