Yep me too! You have to just try and except the thought ! Play with it , joke with it , I keep getting the rocd itās super annoying , got a great woman sheās amazing in every way Iāve felt with my whole soul how much I love her and I absolutely love loving her and feel amazingly happy with her , and then will feel like eh maybe I donāt want her I think I wanna leave , Idk if I love her , literally right after feeling so much joy and love for her Lolol, itās stupid contradicting and irrational, but you just gotta try and let it go ! I know itās hard even me telling you this Iām annoyed and worried but Iāve been through it so many times and end up feeling better after I usually just push through and keep pushing
Honestly need an answer to this too š
You just have to accept that whatever you might've done or whatever you thought about has already been done and over with and trying to go back and figure things out won't change anything but heighten your anxiety and your basically trying to punish yourself by trying to feel guilt or anxiety to reassure yourself that your a good person or that you didn't ruin anything it doesn't solve anything. I have a hard time myself with this but slowly getting better.
Helllo
does anyone else use the fact that they dont like their thoughts as a confirmation/compulsion, and or when you go through something stressful with little to no compulsions take it as a sign they actually like it? is this apart of usual rumination or am I expirencing something different? and how do you deal with it?
I'm having the hardest time right now with my own ruminating negative thoughts that may or may not possibly come true. I fear the worst and replay what that looks like in my head over and over. The best I can do is my best and wait for the horror to end. I want to cry, but can't. I'm scared and alone in my head. My anxiety is extreme. What should I do in the meantime while I'm going through this? How can I minimize or stop the way I'm feeling? Please, I need help.
Advice needed please: Has anybody ever been in a situation where something traumatic or heartbreaking was happening in their life and struggled with rumination? I know there is like a normal amount that you should process something and cry it out but I donāt know that it is conducive to anything to do that on and off for hours? Wouldnāt it at a certain point be considered unhelpful rumination? And if so how does one stop? Because Iām going through something so hurtful and confusing that I donāt know how to stop thinking about it and the usual distractions donāt work for very long. And idk how important this is but it just happened today so itās very fresh which makes it even harder to not think about and āfigure outā why x, y, z happened. Goodness, Iām sorry if Iām weird or a baby
