<human>: I'm not normally one for these "self help" type posts, but I feel that writing about this may help me in some strange way.

Recently I've found myself over thinking things a lot, to the point where it hinders my ability to enjoy myself, relax and appreciate many aspects of my life.

I'll obsess and over think about everything from work (I'm 29 years old and self-employed), to finances, to relationships, and more.

This is not a situation of me worrying about one little thing, I find it's me creating these fictional possible scenarios in my head about every possible situaiton. I'll envision a million different ways that things could play out, and how it could negatively effect me and my life.

The thing that annoys me is that, until lately (the last 6 or 7 months), I've never been like this. I was always a pretty laid back, take it as it comes, individual. Now, however, I find myself getting stressed and wound up to the point where I somethings feel physically tense.

I've read some articles online about it, and tried relaxation techniques. Obviously I'm no expert, but I've tried figuring out things I could to do fix it. Heck, even something like this (writing about it) is meant to be therapeutic in my mind.

I know I can't be the only one going through this thing, so I'm essentially looking for pearls of wisdom from people who are either going through, or have gone through, something like this.

Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?
