How To Control Over-thinking?

I worry way too much about the little and big things in my life, I stress over it constantly and it seems to be taking over my life and affecting my mood. I'm often a quiet person so I have a lot of time to think, which isn't a fun thing for me. I even worry myself about worrying, thinking it might change the person I am. My family has problems similar to this but more severe, i'd like to know what this problem could be and how to fix it before it gets to a higher level that I can't control.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. The duty of mind is to think. Thinking may be positive or negative. Your attitude determines your thinking style. You cannot control your thinking for the time being.

But you can divert your attention to other priority things instead of being idle. From the description, it is clear that you have a lot of time to think. Why and how? You have time to think because you have nothing to do productively. Then change your attitude and start making things productive and creative. Education, career, duties and responsibilities, people are running around without getting enough time to look after house. Here you are, with enough time? Please change. otherwise you will be in trouble.

Also important is that these happenings provide you with valuable life lessons which should be useful for your future.Be confident and positive that you learned another lesson. If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
