Basically, its constant overthinking and always exploring (exhaustively) every single possible outcome to every single possible event to the point that have zero energy (mental or physical) to do anything. It also feels like hyper-awareness.
Now this could just be 'anxiety', but it's not always accompanied by feelings of fear. Also, anticholinergics (like scopolamine) seem to be the only antidotes to this state. That being said, the atomoxetine (perhaps by counteracting high acetylcholine) helps filter the thinking a bit more so that I can better chose what to think about.
