Though I run this site, it is not mine. It's ours. It's not about me. It's about us. Your stories and your wisdom are just as meaningful as mine. 
This is a very large problem for me. At times, it will actually paralyze me from taking any action. I have spoken with doctors concerning this and they believe it is just anxiety of the unknown; however, they have no guidance, other then drugs (will not take), on how to reduce or eliminate the overthinking. It truly gets me depressed!
Hi Rick,
I know all about that paralysis! Have you ever tried meditation? This can be incredibly helpful in slowing thoughts and creating inner calm. Perhaps one of these posts will be helpful to you:
