Have you ever been overwhelmed by your own thoughts?

My brain has a tendency to over analyze things, and while some people might call it chronic worrying, there is more to it than that. It isn’t worry, per se, it is more like ‘what if’ scenarios played out to the extreme. They don’t always follow a negative trail, so you couldn’t really call it worrying. As it goes on, these thought processes soon lead to what I call ‘brain thunderstorms’, in which my mind latches onto a subject, and then like a chain of lightning zig-zagging across the sky, my mind jumps from thought to thought, and at first the ideas and/or subjects will seem unrelated, but soon a pattern emerges and all that jumping leads my mind to an answer to a question I didn’t know I was asking. I know it sounds crazy, but that’s the best way I can describe it. Have you ever dealt with this? Some might consider it a mental health issue, but I find that is is more helpful than harmful. What do you think?
