What's Killing You?

It feels like your thoughts are following you, digging deep into your mind and soul everywhere you go, every place you stand. You try to escape but you’re suffocated by the power they have over you.
You’re in the ocean. It’s the first time you’ve rounded up enough courage to swim away from shore. You build up more confidence with every progression of strokes and kicks. All of a sudden, you’re stuck and are getting pulled under by a current. Breathing is not an option; it’s impossible to even try to get out of it. All you can feel is the water flowing through you, overtaking your whole body every time you struggle to survive through it.
Everywhere you go they haunt you. Constantly drifting in and out of the good and bad points. There is not any way to escape. Sometimes those constant thoughts cause you to lose insight and do insignificant things and overanalyze things.

Overanalyze (v): to analyze a situation to an excessive degree; to devote an exorbitant amount of time to researching a situation or thing

So, what causes someone to overanalyze? One answer- their thoughts. Thoughts which overrule your whole self, being, mind, soul.
Stay stuck in the current and slowly you’ll fade away. You’ll become a prisoner to the waves crashing and beating around you and all the uneasy feelings flowing though you, taking you under. Little, by little, by little you’re drifting away.
All that remains is one question- are your thoughts killing you?
