hamster-wheel brain

an instance of one's mind going over and over an issue or problem without finding a solution

I had a major case hamster-wheel brain today. I could not get organized and could not stop thinking about it.

Hamster Wheel Brain

When your brain runs about some issue over and over again and won't stop, just like a hamster running in its exercise wheel. It keeps running, but doesn't get anywhere.

I'm having such hamster wheel brain about whether or not to take this job offer.
