Can thinking to much lead to manic (worrying)?!


Question: First and foremost, 'thinking' is a vague definiton of focusing one's mind on a particular issue or thought.

Simply concentrating on a particular thought for a certain period of time does NOT lead to any manic episodes.

Thinking 'too much' though, has different repercussions.

If you find yourself sporadically wandering off psychologically to focus on a particular thought and returning to it several times without any mental progress, this can definitely lead to a manic episode but please note that this is in no way a sure-fire route to mental deterioration.

I suffer from manic-depressive disorder and I initially started off with several extended periods of time thinking about virtually anything and everything. I analyzed and re-analyzed almost everything that came to my mind and noted down certain points of interest that I deemed worthy to devote further mental focus.

I discovered that this was one of the symptoms of disorder. I thought way too much and worried more than an average person although I did not realise this as I thought it was normal for everyone to devote significant time to think.

I had conflicting thoughts and emotions which often led me to become confused, angry and lonely as I believed nobody could understand me.

As for your question, you would have to decipher your own thoughts to be certain. Thinking on its own develops inner confidence and you will obtain a better understanding about yourself and your perspectives but as with any human possession, there is a threshold.

Veering over your limit and diving into a myriad of thoughts will eventually lead to an unconscious manic episode which simply means you won't realise that you're experiencing it unless someone really observes your attitude or disposition.

Do not be too alarmed as the best of us do a lot of thinking but you should always be wary of doing so too often for extended periods of time which you would deem unreasonable for the specific thought or issue you are currently dwelling upon.

You will not suddenly develop manic-depressive disorder simply by 'thinking too much' so don't go screaming your head off. Manic-depressive disorder springs from a chemical imbalance which leads to a mental instability and somewhat altered state of consciousness at times.

If you're experiencing 'high' moods and sudden 'low' emotions at differing periods of time and length, I suggest you seek psychiatric or psychological assistance from a mental health professional.

I hope it helps! =)

YES. Thinking too much leads to thinking too deeply. Then you take in too much around you and think on every little thing.....it all ends up as worry on you, thinking that you must please others around you. Which you cannot please everyone.
Before you even realize, you have gotten in way too deeply and way over your head and do not have a clue how you got there nor how to get back out.

Yes it can. One worry can lead to others. One minute you are worring about one thing than that leads to another worry... then you are swarmed with worry.... soon all you think about is something that is bothering you. I learned about something like this in my college psychology class
