Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread.

You are far from alone on that over-thinking symptom. I often wonder if over-thinking is the very essence of anxiety disorder.

You've taken the important first step in writing it out. Keep writing it out, sorting through the words, the thoughts, feelings, emotions, and consider all the choices.
The more you 'do' thinking and work it out, the better your balance will be. Anxiety is natural and it is a helper, so use it to your advantage. Learn the niggles and use the stop, pause, breathe, choice, until you find your calm balance in the moment.
Keep writing and articulating to others, either in writing or in person. You will start to realize everybody is dealing with something and MOST (not all) people you talk to will relate and be empathetic.
