Does anyone, go back to a intrusive thought you had way back and comes back up and you think too much into, and all the stuff that can go wrong ??

Yes, I have had old OCD tapes recur. This is where ERP tools really help? Do you have an OCD therapist? They are trained in ERP therapy. If not, you can contact NOCD for a consultation. It could change your life- for the better!

Ruminating?

@Will86 Rumination involves repetitive and passive thoughts focused on the causes and effects of a person's distress. However, these thoughts do not lead to the person engaging in active coping mechanisms or problem-solving strategies that would relieve distress and improve mood. https://www.verywellmind.com/repetitive-thoughts-emotional-processing-or-rumination-3144936
