I was thinking the same thing as Obsidian. Some of that sounds physiological. Not that it's either or, but once it becomes physical for whatever reason, it tends to snowball.
I have medication I take as needed when I find myself overstimulated or having ruminating thoughts.
It's amazing how feeling different physically can change how you feel emotionally. For example, I beat up on myself a lot about my willpower. But there are times I recognize that I'm exerting a lot more willpower, for a lot fewer results, when I'm feeling bad.
