Can it be dangerous to think too much?

Question

I've always been a very deep thinker.

I think way too far into things.

I have trouble falling asleep because my thoughts keep me awake.

I'm very good at solving any type of problem and I'm very open-minded.

I've always considered it a gift, rather than a burden, but lately it's starting to be a real pain. I feel trapped in my own mind.

Will this feeling pass, or is it just going to get worse because of my constant thinking?

Answer 1

i got the same thing,

you just got to stop thinking, because you start worrieing about things

to be honest smoking weed helped me

Answer 2

When thinking becomes constant and you are unable to sleep for a couple of days it may lead to psychosis, however you sound like a normal, healthy individual.

Answer 3

Not sure it can be dangerous but it sure can take up alot of time.. Am pretty much the same, try getting a hobby you enjoy that involves thinking about other things? like a puzzle book perhaps or just reading takes my mind elsewhere or maybe learn something new

Answer 4

The mind is an excellent servant, but a terrible master!

Answer 5

It not healthy to think of loads of things, from what i've heard it can cause a mental illness dont know how this is but its just how the brain is.

And by thinking loads of things you will worry about tiny things and may cause anxiety.
