Constantly Thinking Disorder: is it a real thing?

I would say it's probably a real thing, I've never heard of it, but if it is a real thing, I definitely have it.

I didn't know that there was a term for this because I always called it "overthinking." But yes, I do think that this is a real thing. When you overthink too much, it can really hinder your social life and how you approach things. For example, say you overthink that you're going to trip and fall while you walk. When you're walking, you're going to be overly cautious because you kept thinking that you might trip. So yes, it's a real thing.

i believe so to some degree. we call it overthinking. and it can be deadly to our mental health and get us stuck in the mental loops which can lead to great deals of anxiety inside our chests and then follow through to depression when we cannot come to a solution or figure out certain portions of everything we are going over in our minds. Sometimes life presents us with so much to do that it can seem near impossible not to retract through certain things in our minds, and im sure alot of people tend to have one thing about life that they are always falling back on to think about, but also assume nobody else would understand them, thus leaving us stuck thinking about the same thing over and over again day to day wondering about it. overthinking comes from any situation really, from a certain play in a sports game, to wondering if the he/she likes you back to thinking about things you think you should not have said earlier that day. Find ways to distract yourself and or get around people and scenarios that take your mind away from the constantly thinking routine. I would consider myself to be a person that does this a lot myself. Some things are just not meant to be figured out. Ignorance can be bliss.

I believe this is a disorder. Because it's keeping you from doing what you like to do on a normal day

Yes of course, constantly thinking about your future and your past and not enjoying your present. Thinking about the mistakes you did or the things that could go wrong in future

Personally, I think it is. There are some people who can think of nothing and relax... and those who think so much that it then starts to harm them.

Honestly, when do we NOT think? We, as humans, over think A LOT. It's actually a probably for most people.

Yes, it is. It's called Anxiety. I get it once in a while. And, believe me it's not pretty. But, it goes away. Just learn to turn that negativity to positivity.

It might be anxiety, if your thoughts are anxious or worrisome. Or it could be ADHD, where your mind doesn't want to take a break- flitting from one train of thought to the next. It could be any number of things, but if it bothers you, talk to a professional, like a doctor, to get help.

I think it definitely a real thing. Time and time again, I find myself having to consciously stop thinking too much and too far. There have been instances, especially in long journeys where I just keep thinking, my mind jumps from one topic to another. But I think it can be overcome. I've been listening to podcasts when it feel I'm thinking too much
