Sağlıklı düşÃ¼nememe what means?



My attempt, but it seems idomatic so this can't be be the whole meaning.

sağlıkı= healthly
düşÃ¼n= thınk; e= maybe; me=not; me= ıng(verbal noun)

DüşÃ¼nemem is a verbal nound from düşÃ¼mek my guess therefore is 'Healthy thinking'

Doesn't it mean 'İ can't think (or worry)'?

It seems to be an incomplete sentence:

to my inability to think healthily

Sağlık: health
Sağlıklı: Healthily

DüşÃ¼nebilmek: To be able to think
DüşÃ¼nememek: To be unable to think

e.g.
Sağlıklı düşÃ¼nememe üzüldü
He was upset at my inability to think healthily.

But is 'düşÃ¼nememe' also 'not thinking'? - the construction is listed as a verbal noun in my book.

Wouldn't that be just the short infinitive düşÃ¼nme?

Oop! my mistake - düsünmeme ıs the negatıve - presumably 'not thinking' - I modified my previous post. And actually, this means my translation attempt was nonsense - please ignore it! 'Healthy not thinking' is not a good English phrase!!!
