'Over thinking' and 'self destruction' sound like symptoms of depression/anxiety. If that is the case, you will eventually have to seek out a professional for diagnosis and treatment.

If you do have a mental health issue then it's likely that you won't be able to fix the issues you're experiencing without first treating it, which is why consulting a professional is such an important step.
Independently of the existence of possible mental health issues, a psychologist will be able to equip you with tools (cbt etc.) to facilitate the changes that you want to make, and support you through them.
