I basically stop myself from thinking whenever possible. Otherwise I tend to over think things, get overstressed, and overall depressed. Once I almost went insane because my brain got overstressed. My question is, does anyone else, for whatever reason, limit their mental capacity?

I certainly have before Light, I know exactly what you are talking about, however after suppressing my mind for a couple of years I tried to make use of the ability of over think things. Lo and behold it worked, I focused these thoughts to specific things and picked up many skills along the way, I found the best way to deal with a overacting mind is to find something you don't mind thinking about and work on that, focus only on that and block out the rest of the world.
This works for me but sometimes it does fall apart, I can't guarantee it will work for you. However I always find it best to never try and suppress thinking, but to make use of it. Humanity is already too dominated with ignorant people, don't join their masses.

I over think everything if i dont distract myself sometimes. For example, when i write my fanfic i partially plan and the rest builds as i go. If i think too much it gets more complex and important details are skipped by accident.
I also do it in exams, or I ramble on for ages on the same idea just explained in a really roundabout way. Time waster. So i have to limit it to thinking straight along what the question's asking and then add extra on the end when i finish the rest of the paper.

i, literally cannot suppress my mind. for me it's not that i don't try, and i can slightly reduce it for short periods of time, but it all ends in a culminating thought of "wow! that was incredibly boring." i need to think, for without thinking or a constant flow of intellectual activity, i would probably be reduced to the mind numbing idiocy and lack of maturity of most male Homo Sapien Sapiens at my age. i must think in order to continue thinking.

I supress it t concentrate, or my mind waders. I also get too emotionally involved in things...when i dont need clouded judgement, so i have to supress my mind then as well...
