It seems liek whenever I analyze things by writing in my diary, i am the most unhappy.
But when I stop writing...I am happier.
Why is this?
Can over-analyzing things hurt your mental health and make you depressed?
How does one know if they over-analyze something?
Answer by mustlovedogs
It's clear for you that you are happier when you don't over think things. I guess you know you're over-analyzing when you find that it's your thoughts that are negative, and lead to worry and fear. You can write out your fears in your diary, if you are also willing to challenge them and ask what the evidence is for them. It is common that brooding on things depresses us. I'm guilty of it myself. :)

Over analyzing things makes me anxious and sad. It is good to reflect, but try to find a balance. Focus on the good things about your life and what makes you happy, and spend time doing things you love. This can help change your perspective on things, and you may begin to realize that little things in life really aren't all that important! Good luck and stay positive! There's always something to smile about.

Yes, it is proven that it does. A survey was done for what the happiest professions were. They found that people in the field of psychology were some of the least happy people.
It just shows that sometimes knowing things, especially about the truth, is not always good.
