Thanks Ritch for your insight. When I was 15, I started analyzing the meaning of life to the point I convinced myself it was worthless to live because all were going to do is die. I spent every bit of mental energy analyzing this and of coarse you can't come up with answers to things we don't have factual proof to. After I exhausted myself with analyzing the meaning life it turned into a full fledged obsession to analyze everything you could possibly imagine and I don't really need to go into detail because most of it was so bizarre, far fetched and stupid. But to me it was all real and scary. Now all I seem to analyze is my day to day minute to minute awareness of how I feel mentally and how I am acting socially. I can change my states of mind it seems within a thought and go from confident to unconfident. Can you relate at all to this? What do you reccomend to combat this?
Thanks,
Tommy
