Is this Compound Thinking? or Catastrphizing?

Question

Is there a term for the thinking pattern that describes putting together all thoughts aqcuired up until the present time?

Such as, when you think about something today, let's say a "problem" and then comes in a thought that you had about even the smallest detail within the big picture of the "problem" ?

You begin to put pieces of the problem together with memories of something that (the other party) has said three months ago. Hard to explain, but out of the 25 things mentioned, most all have no connection, yet I end up connecting them in my head to come up with some solution/justification of "why, etc."

Then, the problem compounds in my head into something huge and out of proportion. I am trying to put together two different puzzles. It is likely the problem either didn't exist at all or just in this conclusion that I came up with w/ the hx I I had "available" to me.

I am thinking that the name for this is "compound thinking". But I am not sure. Can anyone help?

Answer 1

it sounds similar to hindsight, because you seem to be trying to find connections that explain what happened,
when you do create a scenario it would be good if you can lay it to rest as a possiblity, nothing more.
sometimes other people play games with our affection. it's nice to recognise when the mask slipped, even if it's months later.

Answer 2

This is depression I believe. How come so much of problems comes to your memory. It might comes due to some kind of depression or you might have logical brain and you interpret the situations, analyze it and start co relating with each other.
