I have been diagnosed with severe ocd and adhd so this makes all of this stuff even worse. It feels like every second of every day is spent overthinking. I really try to fully understand my interests and personality so I can truly maximize my life but it becomes a convoluted mess and now I am further than ever from understanding myself. I don't even know if I am happy doing something because I overthink whether I am happy or not. I even overthink what my favorite color is! This is an average though spiral:

"Should I try x?"

"Do I truly enjoy x?"

"Does x match my personality?"

"What even is my personality? What do I even like?

How do I find out what I like and if I do how do I know there is something I would be enjoying more?

"How do I know if I am truly happy doing something or if I am just settling for something that doesn't even interest me?"

It seems like every aspect of my interests and hobbies are buried under a thick layer of trying to figure out what they are but burying them deeper in the process. The worst part is I can't even focus on these thoughts so there can be an end to the pain because of my adhd. Not only do I overthink every little like crazy but I also can't overthink without having to restart my overthinking because my adhd kicked in and fogged it all up which leads me to get so mentally exhausted that I just lay down and think about nothing sitting in my mental fog. Sorry if I worded that badly.
