I have been having a problem lately. I am a very creative person and I am aware of everything. I constantly think about colors and signs that i see, I try to find meaning in everything. This has creeped into my love life too, any mention of a guy puts me on over-analyzing auto pilot. it makes me crazy. mostly because my feelings are not correct, my girlfriend is 1000% faithful and i know it! I just keep turning things over in my mind and make myself believe it. I don't know what to do.

Analyzing things and situations is a good thing to a certain extend. It's good to know and be aware of what's happening around you. But like they say, overdoing something can be bad for you... Trust your instict too and enhance you're E.Q. . And about your lovelife, you say you are certain that she is as you said 1000% faithful to you then you have nothing to worry about. Not everybody can say that they are 1000% or more, sure that their partner is that much faithful to them.
Hope I was able to help you with that.
Have a nice day! =)

Find something to get your mind off of. Computers do the trick for me as I'm a computer hardware geek. Buy an addicting game such as an RPG or Counter-Strike. Yes, shhh, I said it. Just find something mind-numbing to do, get good at it and compete. Find a musical instrument... There's an instrument for everybody... For me it's bass. I can create a 'slammin'' beat in minutes. For you it could be anything. Let's start out with something simple... Do you prefer chorus or rhythm? Chorus is more guitar style playing and rhythm is more bass style playing and it doesn't have to be either guitar or bass. It could be drums. Like keeping a beat and have good coordination? Try those out. There *might* be something you enjoy more but lack of skill on guitar still makes you sound good. You don't have to be a genius to master the ways of it and DON'T OVER-ANALYZE YOUR PLAYING! That's what we're trying not to do. We're trying to trick your mind into a state of relaxation and serenity for your overactive mind. Listen to more music if you haven't been listening at all-It does you good. If none of this helps then you should see a psychiatrist. You may have OCD. Sorry, but, hope this helps. Reply back?

You have a very active mind. Boredom is part of the reason you think a lot. Try meditating on a mantra, or try the Relaxation Response as taught by Dr. Herbert Benson; breath in through your nose, and as you exhale through your nose think the word, "one". Repeat for twenty minutes, in the morning and evening. That will train your mind to relax and rest more.

You may have some insecurities that may lead you to doubting your girlfriend's fidelity rather than a problem with over analyzing. Find and resolve your insecurities or seek counseling. Know and feel that you deserve a healthy, faithful relationship.

Calm down and go with the flow. If you are sure of your significant other, then find something real to worry about!
I mean... why mess up a good thing?

no - I am the same way - just be happy with who you are and the way you are.
Everybody wants me to quit being like this - but it's part of being me. Am I supposed to twist myself into a pretzel for everybody?
each of these things has good and bad things about it. It can be bad but also can be good.

hmm... relax, drop out of your AP English class and find something fun and mind-numbing to do. such as playing neopets 24/7 just make sure not to get addicted.

Drink a cup of green tea and everything will be OK.

After analyzing this question, it sounds like you have OCD.

You are analyzing over analyzing.
