Overthinking, analysing, regrets,feeling guilty....

[matosh]

I think and analyse things a lot thereafter I feel exhausted and unable to relax. I have to be occupied by something serious for me not to think. I carry on with my chores whilst my mind is busy with something else even when I am chatting. I reason everything and my mind likes to dwell on complicated and unclear issues. I want black and white answers to everything, no grey areas.

I am a Christian and I tend to feel guilty about different things that I am supposed or not supposed to do, or it may be guilt about all sorts of things, then I get fearful then anxious.I do not remember doing anything horrible to anybody that makes me feel like this. My mind is always looking for something to worry about.

I have family problems to sort and I feel exhausted already because my mind does not rest.I am on auto pilot all the time.

I feel like that sometimes, I over think of everything that has been said to me , making myself worried about what ever I have been told , by the time I have Finnished going over and over the conversation, I am convinced every one hates me, and to me that is something I will worry about for weeks , but I just can't stop it

What type of unclear issues is your mind thinking at this time.

Hi< thanks for the replying.

I am not sure how to explain this as i am black African and you may not understand but i'ii try.

My family has lots of ongoing difficult problems to sort and i am the only one to deal with all that. On top of that i have personal problems that i do not have a family member to share with.

I try to find reasons of why problems/bad things are happening in my family and are so difficult to sort, then I try to figure out may be its because I have done this or I have not that, sort of thing. Then i get caught up between my Christian beliefs and the cultural beliefs/customs/traditions (doing something for ancestors or going to a traditional healer) that some members of my family or other people believed and are practising to help them sort problems.

I had this conflict for a long time, I strongly believe in God and do pray but this conflict keeps coming back whenever i am faced with difficult problems.

As for me are own healer is Jesus a lot of people have tradition and my heart won't agree with that.
