My mind races thinking of stupid things

i am 34 male and in good job but i can never feel happy when i am out with friends or on my own my mind racers 100mph thinking of stupid things that cause worry,people say its just cause i have just lost my mother and step father but i have been like this for years.something must have happened when i was younger and i cant put my finger on it.i can remember being a confident child who was good at everything but somewhere along the line i just lost hope ,i stopped playing sport etc.i couldnt even say what i like i always listen to what others like and tow the line ,i just dont know who i am,i have lost lots of girlfriends as as soon as they say i love you im off.but i crave a girlfriend.i just seem to always be thinking bad things are going to happen but everyone thinks i am this confident person who is always giving good advice and is fun to be with.a friends girlfriend (who is a trianee psychiatrist)actually said she would love to spend an hour with me as she said she had never met anyone with such an adjustable mind ?
