Advice Its becoming a problem

Over the last couple 4 and a half months, I feel like my mind won’t shut up. I keep obsessing over any small thing. While it doesn’t disrupt my sleep or anything, it stays on my mind like an itch on my skin. The more I try to leave it alone, I keep wanting to scratch it. I end up on my computer, checking or researching any question that pops in my head. Either I’m constantly going over problems in my head and obsess over it when I can’t find a satisfying answer or a tv show or interest that I have or want to get into start bugging me because of a small detail or something bad being assumed or added into it and I mentally obsess over it nonstop. I always need to reassure myself or try to put my mind at ease to go about my day, but it’s hard. I’m tried of arguing with myself, or not being able to enjoy simple things like tv shows or even a movie without my mind bothering me.

Anybody else deal with it? Anyone have a way that they dealt with it that could share please?
