Are you feeling-stuck with absolutely no-idea of what is your future-path - fully fed-up with the direction in which your life is heading - having sleepless nights - feeling troubled, anxious, helpless and desperate - you feel like your whole life is crumbling away etc.

Only when disorganized thinking-patterns adversely-affect your daily life - you need to seek help-guidance-counseling or may need medical-help - depending on the severity of your dysfunction.

In its extreme - confused-thinking leads to a break from reality - where someone starts believing things to be real that actually there and can't discern between reality and imagination.

In many instances your confusion may lead you to breakthrough experiences and pathways - if manage to explore ways to find clarity in effective-ways.

For this we need not stop thinking - but to become aware of and then to stop being obsessed-with, going-overboard-with over-analyzing and overthinking.
